Our manufacturing plant has over £0.5M of the latest generation of solar panels on its roof (amongst a lot of other of the latest "green" tech), which most often generates far more electricity than it can use, therefore the majority of it goes into the grid.

The Dry Skin Care Lotion that Protects Against Dry Skin
Frequent hand washing and exposure to harsh irritants are leading causes of dry skin. A good dry skin care product should do more than just replace lost moisture; it should prevent dry skin from occurring. Skin MD Natural shielding lotion is water resistant, protecting hands from dry skin caused by hand washing, dish washing, and exposure to cleaning products.
"Every day our skin is exposed to numerous chemicals and irritants just in everyday life - you don't have to be working in chemicals or with cleaning fluids to have that happen. Skin care and skin treatment is important in today's polluted environment." Dr. Lisa Benest, certified dermatologist.

USING A SHIELDING LOTION AS A ANTI-AGING AND DRY SKIN TREATMENT HELPS WITH WINTER DEHYDRATION
With winter fast approaching, dermatologists will tell you that the risk of dehydration of the skin is much greater. Although most people don't reach the acute dehydration stage, outdoor activities in biting winds and deep frosts still take their toll causing dehydration that leads to dry skin that prematurely ages. A dermatologist has recommended using a Shielding Lotion, along with increased water, electrolyte and mineral intake to improve the hydration of both skin and body. Click here to read more...
Shielding Lotions - more effective for dry skin than mere moisturizing lotions
This Shielding Lotion is far more effective for dry skin than mere moisturizing lotions or protective creams. Skin MD Natural™ is promptly absorbed, without the slightest hint of any greasy or oily feeling or residue, transforming the outer layer of skin into a hydrating invisible shield.
Glycerin has been the standard which all humectants are measured against. Until now no other humectant drew in as much moisture from the air as glycerin. The proprietary formulation in Skin MD Natural™ has a moisturizing factor of at least 6 times greater than glycerin.
Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural ingredients along with the latest advances in skin care technology to hydrate and protect the skin like never before.
This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification, "Shielding Lotion", which keeps moisture robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary "Super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day. The accumulated effect is fully realized after only a few days of daily use, resulting in skin that has rarely looked or felt so good.
Your everyday skin care routine should provide complete protection and hydration to the skin. To achieve this goal, harsh environmental irritants need to be kept away from the skin and excessive sun radiation must be eliminated, not just for health reasons but so skin remains youthful, glowing and healthy.
This product helps prevent loss of natural oils and moisture, it doesn't allow irritating substances to penetrate the skin and it absorbs the part of the UV spectrum that contributes to premature skin ageing and development of skin cancer.
Without Skin MD Natural™ the skin is robbed of its natural moisture
With Skin MD Natural™ irritants are kept - OUT, moisture - IN
Anita Carson, the advertising director for Expression Magazine wrote: I liked the way it made my hands feel, I didn't really give much conscious thought to the healing properties of this lotion. That is, until sometime last week when I reached down to instinctively touch a dry, chapped spot on my left hand knuckle with which I've lived for the past ten years. Despite use of many expensive products, I've never been able to alleviate this dry and cracked spot on my left hand. As is the case with many women, I've spent a small fortune on quality face and body treatments in an effort to stave off signs of aging and drying. And though I've been pleased with how many of the products feel, none have ever been able to remove the dry spot on my left hand.
It would amaze you to find that this dry patch on my left hand has completely disappeared! I couldn't find a trace of this rough area and my skin felt soft. The Skin MD Natural shielding lotion didn't just diminish the dry area...it completely removed it!! Being a skeptic at heart, I probably wouldn't have believed a story such as this had it been told to me. Believe me, no one is harder to convince than me so I found it absolutely amazing that there was anything on the market that can work so efficiently and miraculously!

"Shielding lotions are lotions that bond with the dead skin cells of the epidermis, forming a protective layer with the outer-most layer. This protective layer is virtually the same as what was naturally formed with the outer-most layer of skin cells and the skin's own natural oils and lipids, up until about 100 years ago - before modern life and frequent hand washing stripped it away. This protective layer helps prevents irritating substances from penetrating the skin and getting into its deeper layers. Additionally, it helps to retain the natural moisture and oils, which are responsible for the skin's elasticity and integrity, thus helping the skin to rejuvenate itself." [See Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_lotion]
Skin MD Natural™ shielding lotion is designed to help alleviate dry skin, eczema and dermatitis problems as an alternative treatment to standard skin lotions, moisturising lotions, hand lotions and other moisturising creams. Skin MD Natural™ is the ideal dry skin care, dry skin treatment, dermatitis treatment and eczema treatment solution.
"The outermost layer of the skin is naturally designed to work as a one-way barrier to stop moisture loss, prevent irritants from getting under its surface and allow the skin to breathe and perspire. Today's common irritants include cosmetics, perfumes, antibacterial soaps, cleansers, and household chemicals. These irritants strip the protective elements out from the skin's surface leaving it unprotected. Skin gets dry, looses its integrity and protective abilities, thus allowing penetration of even more irritants into deeper and deeper layers of the skin which may develop into a variety of various skin problems. The use of conventional moisturizers often only masks the dry skin, but do not provide an actual remedy to dry skin."
"Shielding lotions restore the skin's protective functions, very similar to the way they were before modern life resulted in frequent washing, giving the skin time to restore its integrity and protective abilities. With this protection in place, loss of natural oils and moisture is significantly reduced. Irritants are kept from the deeper layers of the skin preventing even more severe skin disorders. Shielding lotions are becoming the preferred skin care treatment by a growing number of dermatologists."[See Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shielding_lotion]
The primary function of the outer layer of skin is to prevent irritants from penetrating while still allowing the skin to breathe. Common household products, harsh soaps and antibacterial agents strip the natural oils and moisture from the skin. As a result it becomes more susceptible to irritants penetrating and stripping out even more moisture and oils.
Skin MD Natural™ becomes part of the outer layer of skin to restore this natural function. It helps damaged skin by preventing moisture-robbing irritants from entering its deeper layers and helps reduce moisture loss.
Despite its shielding effect Skin MD Natural™ does not prevent the skin from breathing, in fact it improves it because it helps keep the skin pores from being clogged with outside irritants that are often too complex to be eliminated naturally.
