mighty dab™: the insight

How to properly moisturize the skin and maintain its integrity. And how to do so in a convenient hassle-free way?

The most common request John had from patients were recommendations for moisturizers. They wanted recommendations for two reasons—(1) they still had dry skin despite applying their current moisturizer several times a day; or (2) their current moisturizer was too sticky, greasy, and difficult to spread.

Inevitably it turned out that the patients with the first concern had been using lotions as moisturizers, and the patients with the second concern had been using creams and ointments. 

Lotions are mainly water, so they evaporate once they are applied to the skin, which means that they don’t stay on or in the skin for very long—so they don’t do much to moisturize the skin.

Creams and ointments contain more oil compared to lotions—and as the percentage of oil increases, the more uncomfortable the moisturizer feels to put on and the harder it is to spread. 

The active ingredient in our first product, mighty dab™ is glycerin, which is a special type of sugar molecule. Instead of just wetting the skin like water or trapping the water in the skin like fat, glycerin actually helps the skin absorb water to keep it moist. mighty dab™ has a higher concentration of glycerin than any other available commercial product.
