VEMONTES Veloof Super Berial Cream with Centella & Collagen 50ml | Pro Backbar

What should a calming cream actually contain? We read the INCI before the label.

Most practitioners hear “cream” and expect a thick, occlusive finish. The INCI shows a base of Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, with Allantoin, Hydrolyzed Collagen and Gluconolactone behind them. We would use it as the final cushioning step of a facial for skin that feels easily bothered. Read the list below the way a supplier would: what is there, in what order, and what that suggests about the feel on the skin.

At a glance

• Cream, 50ml backbar jar.
• Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Allantoin are listed.
• Exfoliating ingredients listed: Gluconolactone.
• No fragrance is listed in the INCI.

Reading the formula

Order of the list. The list opens with Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Diphenylsiloxy Phenyl Trimethicone, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Propylene Glycol rather than water, so this is a dry or low-water cream. 56 ingredients are listed in full below, and we describe only what the INCI shows.

Texture. Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Dimethicone, Mineral Oil and Cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 Dimethicone give a light, silky slip rather than a heavy film.

Soothing side. Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Allantoin add a calming, comforting feel.

Supple look. Hydrolyzed Collagen is listed for skin that looks less firm. We describe them as listed and do not rank them.

Smoothing. Gluconolactone gives a refining, smoothing feel. Follow the usual cautions for exfoliating ingredients.

Care points. Zinc Oxide is a sun-filter or mineral ingredient, which falls under market sunscreen rules. Check your market rules and patch test sensitive clients.

Which clients

Closest fit, in her own words:

• “I want a calming step to end the facial.”
• “My skin feels warm and a bit sensitive after cleansing.”

Less suited: clients who need a sunscreen outside the labelled use, clients with a damaged skin surface or recent exfoliation, reactive or irritated skin and clients straight after a procedure. For that last group, follow your own aftercare protocol.

In the treatment room

• Storage: keep the jar closed, away from direct sunlight and heat, and follow the storage line on the pack.
• Opening date: write it on the jar when you open it.
• Patch test: test on a small area and wait 24 hours before a full-face first use.
• Where it fits: the last step before the client leaves the chair, with the product name written on the menu so clients can ask for it again.
• Backbar handling: use a clean spatula for every client and keep the jar closed between services.

Choose the treatment your clients need, not the ingredient. A client who says “I want a calming step to end the facial.” does not need a product name. She needs the final cushioning step of a facial she can feel, and a reason to book the next visit. Make it a named step in your menu and the rebooking follows.
