The product utilizes Quinnovas patented ProdermTechnologyTM, containing a unique combination of physiological lipids,dimethicone, and glycerin which together help to restore the skin barrier,hydrate, and protect the skin, in addition to having anti-inflammatoryproperties. "Salvax (Hydrating Topical Foam) is a great addition to our current portfolio ofproducts based on Proderm TechnologyTM," said Jeffrey S Day, QuinnovasPresident & CEO. "When physicians are treating hyperkeratotic conditions, theycan choose their product or active ingredient of choice - either Salvax(Hydrating Topical Foam) or Hydro 40 Foam. Both products share the therapeuticand cosmetic benefits of Proderm TechnologyTM while providing an activeingredient of the physicians preference (urea 40 or salicylic acid 6)." Salvax (Hydrating Topical Foam) differs from other topical salicylic acid 6products (creams or lotions). 
First and foremost, Salvax (Hydrating TopicalFoam) is more than a keratolytic agent which simply removes plaques, scales, andthickened dry skin. Due to the Proderm TechnologyTM, Salvax (Hydrating TopicalFoam) also addresses the underlying issues of a compromised skin barrierassociated with hyperkeratotic conditions. It repairs and enhances the skinbarrier function by replenishing lost lipids, thus resulting in a reducedtrans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). The water-lipid nature of the foam allows the foam ingredients to be rapidlyabsorbed and incorporated into the outer layers of the skin.

Furthermore, thefoam provides a cosmetically elegant feel in addition to ease of applicationbecause it is non-greasy and spreads easily, especially on hairy regions of thebody where the foam does not tangle hair. Unlike some topical foam preparations,Proderm TechnologyTM does not use either alcohol or other organic solvents,therefore it is well tolerated by patients. The product features and benefits of Salvax (Hydrating Topical Foam) provideadded value to treatment efficacy, patient tolerability, and convenience in use,thereby helping to increase compliance and maximized treatment results.
