NEWS 94 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2023 ADM, a global leader in human, animal, and pet nutrition, earned the 2023 Independent Pet Innovation Award for Cat Skin & Coat Care Product of the Year. DermalEase® is a topical skincare solution from Protexin® Veterinary, a trusted ADM brand featuring an extensive line of natural products and probiotic supplements based on years of research. “Receiving this award underscores ADM's commitment to innovative and science-based products and solutions that meet the needs of today’s pet owners,” said Mark Lotsch, ADM’s president of global health and wellness. “As human trends increasingly inspire pet nutrition offerings, innovative ways to proactively support pets’ overall well-being will continue to emerge. Most pet owners are seeking out foods, treats, and supplements to help improve their pets’ physical and behavioral health.” Skin health is essential to maintain a pet’s overall well-being. Aside from skin constituting 10-15% of a cat’s body weight, the organ also plays a vital role in regulating bodily processes, including immunity, hydration, sensory, and temperature regulation. DermalEase supports healthy, hydrated, and nourished skin in two versatile and convenient formats. The drop formulation allows targeted application for smaller, discrete areas, while the mousse formulation is ideal for larger, more diffuse areas. DermalEase products leverage Biosfeen®, a unique profile of sphingomyelins and ceramides, and Dermial®, a source of glycosaminoglycans with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid, both developed by Bioiberica. These active ingredients provide dual levels of support, including a healthy skin barrier of the epidermis, and aid for the structure, elasticity, and hydration levels of the inner-layer dermis. With no known contraindications to its use alongside other medications or for pets with allergies, DermalEase has shown to be very safe for companion animals.
