Area skin care manufacturer develops product to treat hands during COVID-19

FORT MYERS — Trilogy Laboratories has developed a hand mask to replenish moisture to itchy, dry and irritated hands.

The Fort Myers-based company developed the products because people are washing and sanitizing their hands more frequently during COVID-19. The hand mask uses three active ingredients — Pentavitin, mallow extract and edelweiss — to combat the effects of harsh chemicals people are using during the pandemic to kill germs, according to a press release. 

The product can be used as an overnight hand mask treatment or as a deep hydrating hand cream.

“In these unique and unprecedented times, where hands are taking a beating from harsh antibacterial and sanitizing products we’re using more than ever before, this mask provides a deep level of moisturizing protection and relief,” says Trilogy Laboratories Owner and Founder Dr. Kristen Flaharty in a statement. “Our customers asked for a product that would provide relief, and we’re happy to deliver something truly extraordinary.”

Trilogy Laboratories was founded in 2014 by Flaharty, who has more than 20 years of pharmaceutical product development experience. Trilogy Laboratories manufactures private label skin care products for physicians, medical professionals, salons and spas, as well as celebrity skin care lines. Trilogy brands include Integraderm, Azul SkinHealth and Minerale Makeup. Its manufacturing facility is a self-contained cosmetic and over-the-counter-registered production facility.
