Heal Eczema and Dry Skin without a Prescription or Steroids

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia, Oct. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Skinfix®, the experts in steroid-free skin healing solutions for the whole family, debuts its incredibly effective dry skin and eczema solutions exclusively at all U.S. Target stores and online at Target.com. Dermatologist-tested and recommended, Skinfix® Body Repair Balm™, Hand Repair Cream™ and Daily Lotion™ keep skin healthy by immediately relieving the symptoms of extreme dryness and eczema and minimizing uncomfortable flare-ups.

Skinfix® products are based on an original skin-soothing formula created over 150 years ago by pharmacist Thomas Dixon in Yorkshire, England. Dixon's descendants immigrated to Canada, bringing his "miracle paste" recipe with them and selling it in their new community. The tried and tested skin-calming, barrier-building formula became the foundation for Skinfix®, which debuted in striking new packaging in Canada last fall. After quickly gaining shelf space and customer loyalty in Canada, Skinfix® enters the US with three unique, highly effective yet gentle formulas.

Skinfix® Body Repair Balm™, Hand Repair Cream™ and Daily Lotion™ offer customers an alternative to prescriptions or over the counter steroids for treatment of eczema and dry irritated, skin. The Skinfix® best seller, Body Repair Balm™, is clinically proven to treat eczema, dryness and dermatitis, without harsh ingredients. Formulated like no other product on the market, Body Repair Balm™ has a rich, skin barrier building texture, contains no water and uses 2% colloidal oatmeal to soothe redness and itching. Skinfix® products are loaded with ingredients from nature's pharmacy, like natural butters, botanicals and protective emollient oils to repair the fragile skin barrier. By popular customer demand, Skinfix® also introduces Hand Repair Cream™, formulated for severely dry, cracked skin, occupational dermatitis and eczema. Perfect for frequent hand washers and those prone to irritation associated with eczema, this rich, medicinal cream goes above and beyond traditional hand creams to calm the itchy, painful conditions of hand eczema. Last but not least, Skinfix® Daily Lotion™ is an everyday, lightweight, deeply moisturizing body lotion that keeps dry, eczema-prone skin healthy and soft.

"There's a real need for effective, over the counter solutions to treat dryness, eczema and dermatitis in the US," says Amy Gordinier-Regan, President of Skinfix. "We hear from customers who have spent years searching for something that actually works, and once they find and try our products, they swear by them. Launching at Target makes our products accessible to people all over the country who desperately need a solution."

Eczema diagnoses have tripled since the 1970's and many people are plagued with chronic dry skin and dermatitis. Millions are suffering with an endless cycle of flare ups and frequent trips to the doctor's office.  Skinfix healing balms help repair the skin barrier quickly, without the negative side effects of long-term steroid use. The Skinfix® eczema collection delivers safe, effective, soothing relief and strengthens skin's barrier to help end the cycle of symptoms. 

Skinfix® products are available at Target stores nationwide and online at Target.com. Body Repair Balm™ and Hand Repair Cream™ are sold in 2 oz. tubes for $17.99. Daily Lotion™ is offered in 12 oz. pump bottles for $24.99. All three are free of fragrance, parabens, phthalates and steroids.
