Northstar Biosciences believes that Mother Nature had the answer all along, the company pointed out. By harnessing the power of coconut oil, the “clear and natural“ product family provides one of the most powerful all natural antimicrobial agent found in nature - Lauric Acid – the same all natural fatty acid found in mother’s milk that keep babies healthy and protected from infection. When applied to the skin, Northstar’s patent pending formula goes to work, killing over 99.98 % of the bacteria that cause acne, Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes), in just 10 minutes or less, Northstar stated. The company has combined antimicrobial agents, together with other all natural, plant-derived ingredients to deliver a soothing cream that minimizes the inflammation due to acne flare-up.
According to the company, the effectiveness and safety of Lauric Acid has been researched and proven for over 25 years in numerous scientific studies and is deemed GRAS (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA.
“Most people that suffer with acne find it a source of embarrassment and frustration,” said Mike Vitagliano, Chief Operating Officer (COO), Northstar Biosciences. “The frustration stems from the fact that currently available acne treatments are ineffective, have very nasty side effects, and are many times simply unaffordable.” He continued, “We are very excited that our patent-pending process has yielded such a highly effective and affordable solution that will enable everyone to experience the benefits of an all natural, plant-derived acne treatment.”
