Symptoms are ranging from minor reddening to a distinct sunburn. There are several skin care therapies which have proved successful such as active agents with echinacea extract and D-panthenol, which both quickly show positive results. The combination with a liposomal concentrate has synergetic effects as the phosphatidylcholine contained has additional anti-inflammatory effects because of the linoleic acid and choline contents. Also evening primrose oil and linseed oil encapsulated in phosphatidylcholine-containing nanoparticles act anti-inflammatory due to the high dosage of gamma respectively alpha linolenic acid. The application of an aloe vera product in form of a surface film protects the skin and provides cooling effects. As skin with erythema symptoms also is extremely permeable, a fact which also applies for a barrier-damaged horny layer, preservatives and perfumes are contraindicated for individuals with sensitive skin.
