Laboratoires Expanscience and bitop enter a partnership

By launching bitops 7% medEctoin® dermatitis cream under their brand Mustela Stelatopia^® Intense in four countries, Expanscience Laboratoires proves their commitment to their mission: Empowering people to shape their wellbeing with natural healthcare and sustainable products that have the least possible impact on ecosystems. For our ingredient medEctoin^®, this is another step onto the big stage.

“Many parents can now stop googling for ‘eczema cream without steroids’. From this day on, they will find the medEctoin^® containing Mustela Stelatopia^® Intense ointment. And I’m sure, that they will stick with it”, says CEO Wolfgang Hansen. “Since this 7% medEctoin^® dermatitis cream is as effective as hydrocortisone, parents now have a natural and safe solution with no common side effects when their baby suffers from mild-to-moderate atopic dermatitis.” The perfect safety profile is an important feature: While cortisone treatment should stop after a short period, there is no time limitation for the use of medEctoin^® creams – making it the superior ingredient for treating this life-long disease.

Atopic dermatitis hits up to 20% of all new-borns. Although usually getting better and with less flare-ups when growing into adulthood, atopic dermatitis can be a genetically inherited lifelong disease. Today’s babies are tomorrow’s parents and likely to give the atopic dermatitis to their offspring. Laboratoires Expanscience distribute this product in France, Spain, Portugal and Turkey.

“This is why we as bitop are so thrilled about this. Looking back on 70 years of expertise in skin care and having gained a reputation for high quality products, Laboratoires Expanscience is the ideal partner for this dermatitis cream”, CEO Wolfgang Hansen emphasizes. Also, natural and sustainable products are a shared focus for Expanscience and bitop. 93% of the cream’s ingredients are from natural origin

medEctoin^®: The natural born cell protector

The extremolyte medEctoin^® is a natural born cell protector produced by extremophilic bacteria which could not survive the harsh environmental conditions they live in, if it were not for this molecule that they accumulate. At bitop this natural molecule is manufactured in a medical quality following the requirements of DIN ISO 13485. As medEctoin^®, bitop makes use of it in various medical devices such as eye drops, nasal sprays, creams and more.
