Skin is the largest organ and performs many functions:

1. Protection: an anatomical barrier between the internal and external environment in bodily defense; Langerhans cells in the skin are part of the adaptive immune system
2. Sensation: contains a variety of nerve endings that react to heat and cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue injury; see somatosensory system and haptics.
3. Heat regulation: the skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise control of energy loss by radiation, convection and conduction. Dilated blood vessels increase perfusion and heat loss while constricted vessels greatly reduce cutaneous blood flow and conserve heat. Erector pili muscles are significant in animals.
4. Control of evaporation: the skin provides a relatively dry and impermeable barrier to fluid loss. Loss of this function contributes to the massive fluid loss in burns.
5. Aesthetics and communication: others see our skin and can assess our mood, physical state and attractiveness.
6. Storage and synthesis: acts as a storage center for lipids and water, as well as a means of synthesis of vitamin D by action of UV on certain parts of the skin.
7. Excretion: sweat contains urea, however its concentration is 1/130th that of urine, hence excretion by sweating is at most a secondary function to temperature regulation.
8. Absorption: Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide can diffuse into the epidermis in small amounts, some animals using their skin for their sole respiration organ. In addition, medicine can be administered through the skin, by ointments or by means of adhesive patch, such as the nicotine patch or iontophoresis. The skin is an important site of transport in many other organisms.

In some respect, then, we ought to pay special attention to the health of our skin. We have to keep it clean and well nourished. We should avoid harsh chemicals and environments. The sun is wonderful and we need to be exposed to it for many reasons. Too much sun causes burning and it is never ok to burn an organ. Aging, the environment, our diet, and exposure to chemicals all impact the health of our skin and sometimes it is important to add products back that may have been lost. It isn't just vanity that drives us to want smooth, supple skin. Good skin is healthier and that's good for our overall wellness. We offer a small selection of top quality preparations that will help keep your skin in it's best condition.

In addition to using various topical supplements consider using a quality oral supplement as well. One key product is fish oil. A daily dose provides necessary oil-soluble vitamins and omega substances. We recommend Carlson's Cod Liver Oil.

Chrysaderm

Chrysaderm Day^TM and Chrysaderm Night^TM are available exclusively from The Compounder.  These formulations were designed and perfected by a compounding pharmacist after years of study, experimentation and testing.  They work to rebuild and rejuvenate your skin.  They're NOT your run-of-the-mill moisturizers.  

The Compounder GUARANTEES that you will be 100% DELIGHTED with these products.  If not, just contact us and we'll arrange for you to return your purchase for a full refund of your purchase price.

The big cosmetics companies charge well over ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for products like this - and they really don't match to the quality of Chrysaderm.  In fact, a product debuting in March 2005 bears a recommended retail price of $138 for a single bottle - and you'll need to visit a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist to get it.  And that adds even more to the cost.

Don't let the fancy adds and their high price fool you!  Chrysaderm is a premium skin care product - probably the best available on the market.  You you will want to use every day. 

The recommended retail price is $97.00 per bottle of either Chrysaderm Day^TM  or Chrysaderm Night^TM .  Our price is $85.00

Chrysaderm™ Clinical Tests Are In! An FDA-registered third-party laboratory tested Chrysaderm on 24 human subjects, aged 35 to 65.  The purpose was to test Chrysaderm’s effectiveness at reducing the appearance of facial lines, in particular periocular “crow’s feet.”  Post-treatment digital photography and silicon replicas revealed a statistically significant decrease in roughness of coarse wrinkles after 6 weeks of product application, and a statistically significant reduction in fine lines after 4 weeks and 6 weeks of application.

• 86% of subjects saw a minimization in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• 90% of subjects saw improved skin tone and 86 percent felt it improved skin texture.

The subjects also completed a participant questionnaire regarding their perceptions of product effectiveness. The responses indicate a very positive perception of the product’s efficacy, ease of use and overall performance compared to other products they may have used in the past. In a separate study, the laboratory used 50 human subjects to allergy test Chrysaderm via a Repeat Insult Patch Test with skin irritation and sensitization evaluation. Chrysaderm is now officially deemed “allergy tested and hypoallergenic.”
