Meliquet

Meliquet ® is a unique product that cleans in an astringent way. Perfect for caring for the baby's navel, at the same time, it soothes and promotes skin cell regeneration and renewal.

The navel is a post-scar structure that comes from the cutting of the umbilical cord and the subsequent healing and fall of its remains.

The umbilical cord in the newborn is cut at birth, leaving a stump that remains drying for a few days until it falls off around the second or third week of life. Although you don't have to do much for this to happen, you do have to take into account some recommendations to cure a newborn's navel. And that is where Meliquet ® is the most appropriate option, as we will see, as demonstrated by in vivo tests carried out in accordance with the legal requirements for Spain and the European Union.

It is important not to try to remove it or pull it in any case so that the cord comes off sooner. It is a healing process that the navel will do on its own and we must try to keep it clean and dry to avoid complications.

  • Cord bleeding: Although it is normal for slight bleeding from the newborn's umbilical cord to occur in the first few days and then when it falls off, we must monitor it as there are certain signs that can tell us that something is not right. A small amount of bleeding may be due to the diaper rubbing, but this is not normal, for example, active bleeding that soaks through the gauze. Bleeding, pus and swelling in the navel area are reasons for consulting the pediatrician due to the serious risk of infection.
  • Yellow, smelly discharge : Likewise, if the cord is wet and has a yellowish, smelly discharge (pus), these may be signs of omphalitis or umbilical infection.
  • Umbilical granuloma: Sometimes, after the cord falls off, especially if it falls off very soon or was very thick, a small lump with well-defined edges of pink or red color may be noticed, although it can also be whitish, yellowish or even grayish in color. . It is an umbilical granuloma. This is not an infection, but it is usually quite worrying since sometimes a yellowish discharge oozes.
  • Redness or inflammation of the navel area: Likewise, if you notice that the area around the navel is irritated (umbilical erythema) or inflamed, it could be a sign of possible infection. So, consult with your doctor to evaluate it.
  • Delayed shedding: The umbilical cord dries out and usually falls off between the fifth and fifteenth day after birth. If after 15 days of life it has still not come off, this is a reason for consultation.
  • Umbilical hernia: If the scar after cutting the cord does not close well, a small section of the intestine may come out through the umbilical ring, producing an umbilical hernia, a soft protuberance that can be seen around the baby's navel. It is caused by a failure or defect in the belly wall (like a buttonhole) that allows that portion of the intestine to exit. It can be minimal ("hernia tip") or giant (several centimeters in diameter and prominence or bulge). It is called an "omphalocele" if the hernia is large and is not covered with skin but with a thin transparent layer.
  • Fever and discomfort: If the baby also presents symptoms such as fever, discomfort or weakness, you should also go to the pediatrician, since it could be a sign that the navel has become infected and the infection can spread to other parts of the body, which in a small child can be very serious.

Meliquet ® comes from the research of Finaderm cosmetic laboratories. A Spanish laboratory, which is created from experience in the pharmaceutical master formulation of medicines. It is a revolutionary product that is changing the way we care for our newborns.

Designed specifically for navel care, this unique product not only cleanses, but also repairs and regenerates the skin from the inside.

Taking advantage of the experience and knowledge in the development of medicinal formulas, Finaderm seeks to obtain cosmetic formulas of maximum effectiveness, safety and quality; far exceeding the standards required in the European Union.

As a result of this research, Finaderm detected a great deficiency in the field of care for the navel of the newborn. Because there is no specific product not only for its care, but also to be able to achieve an aesthetically beautiful navel in the short term.

So Meliquet ® comes to cover that lack in a section as fundamental as caring for the baby in its first days of life.

Centella asiatica (Centella asiatica; L.)

Rich in pentacyclic triterpenes and their genins: asiatic and madecassic acids and heterosides (asiaticoside, madecassoside and terminoloside), it also contains saponins, tannins, phytosterols and mucilage. All of this gives it healing, regenerating, repairing and renewing properties on the skin and mucous membranes, as well as venotonic properties.

According to the WHO Monograph, pharmacological activity is due to the synergistic action of several of its components, especially triterpene compounds. Each of them, separately, has been shown (in vitro) to stimulate fibroblast activation and the production of collagen I and III, key in wound healing, due to its consequent re-epithelializing effect.

Camomilla recutita (Matricaria chamomilla L.):

It contains galacturonic mucilage, coumarins (umbelliferone, herniarin), phenolic acids and sesquiterpene lactones, flavonoids (flavone heterosides, glucusyl-7-apigenin), luteolol glycosides, quercetol and isorramnetol heterosides (flavonols).

All of this gives it its properties such as anti-inflammatory, anti-ulcer, soothing on the skin, bactericide, fungicide and mild sedative.

Calendula (Calendula officinalis L.)

They contain flavonoids, carotenes (lycopene) and xanthophylls. Triterpetine compounds are very abundant: alpha and beta-amyrin, arnidiol, faradiol, ursadiol, calenduladiol, heliantriols. Various saponosides (oleanolic acid bidesmosides and monodesmosides) have also been identified.

All of this gives it anti-inflammatory, healing and antiseptic properties. Along with carotenoids that promote cell regeneration.

Copper sulphate

It has a powerful disinfectant and antiseptic effect against a wide variety of microorganisms (even those most resistant to very common antibiotics and antiseptics), as well as astringent and healing properties.

INCI: ALCOHOL DENAT, AQUA, PROPYLENE CLYCOL, CENTELLA ASIATICA EXTRACT, CHAMOMILLA RECUTITA FLOWER EXTRACT, CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER EXTRACT, COPPER SULFATE, CHOLORHEXIDINE DEGLUCONATE.

Meliquet ® is applied directly to the navel area. It is recommended to apply it twice a day during regular cleansing until the umbilical cord falls off and the navel is completely healed.

To do this, with very clean hands (and if possible disinfected), carefully clean the skin around the rest of the umbilical cord with a sterile gauze.

Meliquet ® is sprayed on another sterile gauze, soaking it well and with it the entire area of ​​​​the navel area is carefully cleaned. It is now allowed to take effect, without the need for subsequent cleaning.

Meliquet ® is safe if used according to the recommendations indicated on its packaging.

In addition, its ingredients, as we have already indicated, produce deep tissue regeneration, so healing is very good and a beautiful navel is left.

It can also be used on wounds, abrasions and any superficial damage to the skin, due to its regenerating, soothing and healing properties.
