Care and protection of herpes-prone lips with the natural microalgae active ingredient Spiralin®

A herpes outbreak with painful blisters on the lips, corners of the mouth, or nose can take a while to heal. Unsightly scabs often form during the healing process, which can easily crack and be very painful. Drying products further irritate the already damaged skin.

What your lips need now is a treatment specifically tailored to the needs of herpes-prone lips.

Good reasons for ilon® lip cream HS

• High-quality plant oils and Spiralin, a special microalgae active ingredient, form an invisible, nourishing protective film over the lips.
• When used early, the microalgae active ingredient Spiralin protects the sensitive lip area against external influences and can help prevent a herpes outbreak.
• If an infection has already broken out, ilon Lip Cream HS can positively support healing by helping to contain further spread, as Spiralin helps to prevent it from spreading. It can also reduce painful cracking of the skin or unsightly crusting.
• The included SPF 30 protects against UV radiation, which can trigger herpes.

The power of microalgae

What makes ilon Lip Cream HS special is the microalgae ingredient Spiralin®, derived from Spirulina platensis. The algae's secret lies in its unique defense mechanisms against natural enemies such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi. The microalgae active ingredient Spiralin® is extracted from a particularly potent strain of Spirulina platensis originating from a tropical volcanic lake. Even today, these lakes offer exceptionally harsh conditions, against which this organism has mastered its resilience. Through a specially developed, patented process, these unique properties have been enhanced, making them available for human use.

The following factors can promote cold sores

Weak immune system

A strong immune system is the best protection against herpes. Regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and a balanced, vitamin-rich diet support the immune system in fighting off disease-causing viruses and bacteria. It is also helpful to avoid stimulants such as alcohol and cigarettes, which unnecessarily burden the natural defense system.

Stress and special occasions

Cold sores can occur more frequently, especially during stressful times. In such phases, the immune system is often weakened, making it easier for herpes viruses to take hold. During stressful periods, the microalgae active ingredient Spiralin protects the sensitive lip area from external influences and can help prevent a herpes outbreak.

Sun & UV radiation

Intense UV radiation is one of the most common triggers of cold sores. Thanks to its SPF 30, ilon Lip Cream HS can protect herpes-prone lips from an outbreak if applied promptly and should therefore be included in your travel first-aid kit.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

The symptoms of cold sores remain the same, regardless of whether or not you are pregnant. However, herpes outbreaks are sometimes more frequent during pregnancy. This can be due to a weakened immune system or hormonal changes. ilon Lip Cream HS can also be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor before using it.
