Most regions in Indonesia have entered the rainy season. That is unavoidable, so everyone must adapt to activities during the rain. Towards the end of the year, many people are busy with work and often neglect rain protection equipment such as umbrellas and raincoats.

As a result, they get wet in the rain. The equipment and clothing used are not exempt from this natural phenomenon. Wet clothes should be changed immediately as they can adversely affect health, especially the skin. According to Grid. id, wearing wet clothes for an extended period can cause skin rashes, leading to itching, redness, and a burning sensation.

If this has already happened, prevention is necessary, especially for sensitive skin. According to the State of Skin Sensitivity Report by Aveeno, 71 percent of the population has sensitive skin. This finding highlights the need for efforts to address this issue.

One way is by using external care. Nowadays, the use of personal care products is increasing. According to Technavio, the personal care market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% between 2022 and 2027, with the market size forecasted to increase by USD 169.7 billion.

The rise in the personal care products market is due to more male and female customers opting for these products. One solution is using an external cream like Agascalm™. This raw material can reduce stress-induced skin inflammation and redness. It is a sustainable product made from Agastache mexicana, recommended for sensitive skin applications.

Proof comes from a study involving 45 volunteers, 30 experiencing psychological stress and 15 with Rosacea-prone skin, aged between 19 and 62. They used an active formula (2% Agascalm™) on one half of the face and a placebo on the other, applied twice daily for 28 days. The result showed a reduction in redness on the skin.

Here is a formulation that can be used to prevent redness on the skin: Propanediol (and) Glycerin (and) Agastache Mexicana Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract.
