When the side effects generated by therapies occur, the skin loses its original protective capacity and becomes more delicate, sensitive and reactive.

Dermocosmetics for cancer patients
The main objective of Oncos was to create an oncological cosmetic range formulated with emollient and soothing ingredients, suitable for dermocosmetic intervention for delicate and sensitive skin, with the aim of reducing symptoms such as dehydration and irritation, caused by oncological treatment, by restoring the stratum corneum of the skin.

Through extensive and focused study, ONCOS has created a range of dermocosmetics for cancer patients, cosmetic products for cancer patients that can give patients some relief from the unpleasant side effects caused by therapies such as chemo and radiation.

Thanks to an in-depth and targeted study, ONCOS has created a dermocosmetics range for cancer patients, cosmetic products for cancer patients that can give patients some relief from the unpleasant side effects caused by treatments such as chemo and radio.

For all ONCOS products, bottles designed for optimal storage of chemotherapy cosmetics were used: thanks to the mechanical pump and the piston-sealed container, the product never comes into contact with air and is better protected from oxidation and external contamination, both microbial and environmental.

The Dermocosmetics range for cancer patients ONCOS was created to prevent the side effects caused by chemotherapy and radiotherapy on the skin.

During cancer treatments, the skin may show skin reactions including redness, irritation, itching and a number of functional changes. To avoid these risks, it is important to prepare the skin even before starting treatment.

The oncological cosmetic products formulated by ONCOS were created with precisely this purpose in mind: to prepare patients’ skin for this type of journey.

Cancer therapies and skin: the side effects

The most common include the following:

• Dehydration;
• Reddening;
• Burning;
• Itching;
• Blisters;
• Skin dryness;
• Photosensitivity;
• Skin rashes;
• Desquamation;
• Fibrosis;
• Teleangiectasias.

Sometimes the skin may also show changes in pigmentation, and taking anti-cancer drugs may interfere with the complexion of the skin, favouring the appearance of spots (hyperpigmentation). In rarer cases, more severe side effects, such as burns and skin tearing, may also occur. To avoid these risks, it is important to prepare the skin even before starting treatment.

Ultimately, the skin of the cancer patient needs constant care and daily protection: exactly what ONCOS cosmetics for cancer patients can offer.

The main thing is to consult a medical specialist, who will be able to correctly indicate cosmetics for chemo and other cancer treatments that are suitable for the individual needs of patients.
