PATCH

Brand's website: PATCH

James-Dutton-PATCH-strips The Patch brand was founded in 2016 by James Dutton. The impetus for this was his two sons - one was allergic to plasters and the other hated any antiseptic or healing product applied to his skin. After researching conventional patches, James discovered that there are a number of chemicals in their ingredients that are definitely not suitable for allergy sufferers, but should also be avoided by the average user. He decided to invent a natural hypoallergenic patch that would not only protect the wound but also help speed up its regeneration, eliminating the need to apply other healing products.

Conventional plasters should be avoided...

patch 6 The main problem with commonly available patches is their virtually undetectable composition. Try googling the ingredients of the patches you have in your medicine cabinet at home or check the box. You will probably find that the patches consist of a pad that is made of treated cotton and other natural and treated fibers. In most cases, this cotton is chlorine bleached, as is the case with pads, tampons and other sanitary products.

The patch itself can be made of PVC, PE or PU, or fabric. In the case of plastic, although it is more or less waterproof, it again does not allow the injury to breathe and slows down the natural healing process. In the case of the cloth patch, the same problem with chemical chlorine bleaching is again. The adhesive that holds the patches to the skin is usually either latex or acrylic based. Both substances can cause allergic reactions. In addition, some types of adhesives are still mixed with animal ingredients and are not suitable for vegans and sometimes not even for vegetarians.

What we don't see and practically don't find out is that the patch pad or the patch itself may be infused with other substances such as parabens, thimerosal and others in addition to toxic bleaches. To learn more, read the article on Patch.
