Intensive research is being carried out to produce new, effective antibiotics. Antibiotic-free active ingredients that effectively fight resistant bacteria are becoming increasingly important. Light and dark Ichthyol\u00ae meet this demand for the treatment of skin infections. Extracted from natural shale rock, the Ichthyol\u00ae active ingredients fight bacteria that cause skin infections &#8211; including resistant bacteria such as (MRSA)<sup>\u00b9 \u00b2<\/sup>. Another advantage being that treatment with Ichthyol\u00ae does not create newly resistant bacteria<sup>\u00b3<\/sup>. We see it as our task to fully exploit the potential of these active ingredients through the distribution of the existing portfolio and the further development of innovative medicinal products.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1: Idelevich, E.A. and K.

However, due to possible side effects, the use of cortisone creams or gels should be restricted in time and only used locally. Especially in sensitive children\u2019s skin, cortisones can only be used to a limited extent. This presents a problem especially in treating chronic skin inflammations. Ichthyol\u00ae PALE has an anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effect without cortisone. Used in creams, bath additives or shampoos, this active ingredient can usefully supplement the treatment of inflammatory, itchy skin diseases and reduce the use of cortisone.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_small\"><\/div><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none hide_on_default hide_on_laptops\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" title=\"Product\" href=\"\/en\/products\/\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Product search<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row us_custom_c70c97eb en_overflow_hide height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_middle type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"g-cols wpb_row via_flex valign_middle type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">[vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Medicines are a matter of trust.

In our work we take care not to disturb the resident bats. The most frequent visitor is the endangered Greater Horseshoe Bat. Other endangered bat species, such as the greater mouse-eared bat, the brown long-eared bat, the Brandt&#8217;s mouse and the lesser horseshoe bat have also been sighted in the tunnel galleries.<\/li>\n<li>The active ingredient, in the oil shale rock that we extract, is highly concentrated meaning the quantity of rock needed to manufacture our products is relatively small.<\/li>\n<li>Ichthyol\u00ae active ingredient production takes place in Seefeld in Tyrol, located on the border of the Karwendel National Park. This emphasises the obligation to produce in harmony with nature and in compliance with strict environmental regulations. Waste or by-products of production are recycled as far as possible or disposed of professionally. The electricity required for production is generated as far as possible from hydropower. For effective climate protection, the release of carbon dioxide (CO2 footprint) is determined and measures for further reduction are being developed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6 vc_col-xs-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-image align_none\"><div class=\"w-image-h\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ichthyol.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Fledermaus-im-Flug.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ichthyol.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Fledermaus-im-Flug.jpg 2500w, https:\/\/www.ichthyol.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Fledermaus-im-Flug-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ichthyol.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Fledermaus-im-Flug-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2500px) 100vw, 2500px\" title=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[vc_custom_heading text=\"We are Ichthyol.
