The natural permeability boundary
Understanding the structure of the DMS-concentrate means understanding
the evolution and the factor of the natural permeability-boundary of the
skin:
Millions of years ago during the evolution process, when animal left water
and went on land, their skin had to adapt to a completely new biochemical
aspect, namely:
how to keep the biological balance between the water within the body and
the dry, rough environment outside.
A mechanism had to be developed in order to regulate the balance of exchange
of water-evaporation.
Moreover, provisions had to be developed that no foreign substances would
enter the body.
Even though the human skin is extremely thin,
- only a few millimetres divide the outer atmosphere from the blood capillaries
–
the skin is remarkably resistant against unrequired foreign substances.

The
natural permeability – boundary
If you have a look at this lipid-layer filling the space between the corneacytes
like mortar in a brick-wall, you will find parallel lamellar lipid-structures.
Electron microscopic photographs furnish proof that these lamellar lipid-structures
really exist.
Chemical analyses showed that these membranes mainly consist of the socalled
• phospholipids
•ceramides
• cholesterols.
Whereas, the surface skin-lipids consist of
• triglycerides
• squalanes.

Chemical analyses showed that these membranes mainly consist of the socalled

Whereas, the surface skin-lipids consist of

• squalanes.
Laboratory
experiments showed that the membrane structure of the lipid matrix is
of enormous importance to the function boundary protection.
The special structure provides a 100 to 10.000 times better protection
than the same lipids not naturally structured in a lamellar way.
