What are the main active ingredients and how do they work together?

The efficacy of Kartalin-A+ comes from a combination of barrier-forming, exfoliating, and nourishing components. Solidol forms the primary base, creating an occlusive layer that locks in moisture and prevents rapid drying. This is enhanced by honey, which is traditionally valued for its softening and moisture-binding qualities, helping to keep the skin hydrated.

To address texture, the formula includes salicylic acid, which gently helps loosen dead skin cells, allowing rough areas to feel smoother. This is supported by sea buckthorn and rosehip oils, which provide essential lipids and vitamins to improve skin suppleness. Vitamin E is also included as an antioxidant to help protect skin lipids from oxidative stress caused by environmental factors.

For soothing and hygiene, the cream contains chamomile and knotgrass extracts, which are often used in skincare for sensitive or reactive skin. It also includes lysozyme and isopropylmethylphenol, ingredients aimed at maintaining skin hygiene when the skin surface is easily disturbed. The characteristic scent comes from essential oils of lavender and eucalyptus, which add a fresh herbal profile, though those with very reactive skin should patch-test first due to the presence of these essential oils.
