FAQs

Q1. What makes iS Clinical Sheald Recovery Balm different from a regular moisturiser?
A1. Sheald Recovery Balm is a post-procedure medical recovery product with an occlusive, balm-grade formulation built around Petrolatum — the most effective single barrier ingredient available, which creates an impermeable film over compromised skin to prevent all transepidermal water loss and protect the regenerating surface from environmental exposure. Regular moisturisers deliver hydration through humectants and emollients without this level of occlusion. Sheald combines Petrolatum's barrier function with ceramides (NP, AP, EOP) and Cholesterol (replacing the barrier lipids disrupted by procedures), Superoxide Dismutase (antioxidant protection during healing), Allantoin (keratolytic and wound-healing), and Panthenol (B5, tissue repair and hydration). This makes it appropriate for post-laser, post-chemical peel, post-microneedling, or any procedure that transiently compromises the skin barrier.

Q2. When exactly should Sheald Recovery Balm be applied after a clinical skin procedure?
A2. Sheald can be applied immediately after a dermatological procedure under clinical guidance, or as directed for home post-procedure care. For laser or chemical peel aftercare, apply a thin layer to the treated area as soon as the procedure is complete — the occlusive film immediately reduces the inflammatory mediator exposure and water loss that slows healing. Reapply every two to four hours or whenever the treated area feels tight or dry. Continue until the treated skin has fully re-epithelialised (typically three to seven days depending on procedure depth).

Q3. Can Sheald Recovery Balm also be used for everyday dry skin or eczema flares without a procedure?
A3. Yes — Sheald is appropriate for anyone with severely dry, compromised, or eczema-prone skin outside of a procedure context. Its ceramide and Cholesterol complex restores the lipid barrier depleted in atopic skin, while Petrolatum's occlusion dramatically reduces transepidermal water loss. Apply as a thick nighttime treatment on extremely dry patches (hands, heels, elbows, face during a flare). The rich balm texture makes it less practical as a daily daytime face moisturiser but excellent as an overnight intensive barrier treatment.

Q4. Does iS Clinical Sheald Recovery Balm contain any fragrance or potential sensitisers?
A4. Sheald is formulated without added fragrance, parabens, or common sensitisers — it is specifically designed for compromised and sensitised skin that reacts to additives. Bisabolol (the anti-inflammatory active from chamomile) and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice provide the soothing action without fragrant essential oils or botanical irritants. Phenoxyethanol and Caprylyl Glycol serve as the preservative system at concentrations generally well-tolerated even by reactive skin.

Q5. How should Sheald Recovery Balm be layered in a post-procedure skincare protocol?
A5. In a post-procedure protocol, apply Sheald as the final and only step — do not layer active serums, retinols, acids, or brightening agents under Sheald during the healing period. The occlusive film will trap actives against compromised skin and risk irritation or sensitisation during the vulnerable healing window. Once healing is complete and the dermatologist gives clearance to resume an active skincare routine, return Sheald to use as either a nighttime intensive treatment or a protective post-active barrier balm applied after strong treatments.
