When the surrounding air humidity drops below 70%, skin moisture loss increases. The result can be dry skin, eyes and mouth (all signs that the body's hydration system is out of balance). Skin dehydration shrinks blood capillaries making the skin appear dull, thin and pale.
Internal water is vitally important for the body to regulate, maintain and repair its various systems. Most water on earth is alkaline, and before the body sends water to the integument (skin), the body acidifies it because skin must maintain its acidity to protect against bacteria flora, which prefer alkaline environments.
Unfortunately, skin can lose water by "sensible perspiration" through sweat, or "insensible perspiration" through transepidermal water loss or "TEWL". An external water source can be highly beneficial in restoring lost moisture to the skin. The shortest pathway from the skin's surface into the dermis is through the hair follicle and sweat glands (pores). To enter, moisture must (a) be applied as a fine mist and (b) have a slightly acidic pH balance to penetrate the stratum corneum's acid-mantle protection barrier.

About the Mist
Moisture Is Water!
Creams and lotions are not moisture, even when labeled as "moisturizers". Moisture can certainly contain substances other than water, but as water diffuses into moisture, the dissolved minerals, contaminants, and pollutants, can remain suspended in the minute moisture droplets.The Amazing Tear Film.
The ocular tear film the covers the exposed portion of the eye and is only four or five microns thick. When eyes become dry, the ultimate cause is usually moisture depletion in the tear film's middle layer. This depletion can total no more than two to five nanoliters but those barely measurable quantities can make a huge difference. Replace those nanoliters and your eyes will feel much more comfortable.The Eye Drop Dilemma.
How do you get two to five nanoliters of into the aqueous layer? You could use a very tiny eyedropper but it would be needle thin and not practical for safety reasons. The typical commercial eyedropper is much larger and blunt-ended. Its drops, however, contain ten to 40 times the volume of the entire tear film. Drops that large flood the tear film and wash away the overlying lipid (oil) layer, whose purpose is to slow moisture evaporation from the aqueous layer. Disrupting the lipid layer can make dry eyes even dryer.The Mist Solution.
The "Mist Solution," discovered by Nature's Tears EyeMist, utilizes an ultra-fine mist instead of drops. The micron-droplets penetrate the overlying lipid layer much like vinegar penetrates salad oil: the oil parts, the water enters and the oil then reseals.Using the right water is critical. Water for the eyes must be sterile and free from contaminants and pollution. It must be mostly free from salt, heavy metals, artificial formulations and potentially allergenic preservatives. It must contain minute quantities of beneficial minerals such as silicon, calcium and potassium. And it must have a pH (acid/alkaline) balance that is compatible with the tear film's pH.
A word about salt:
Everyone knows that tears are salty, but exactly how salty they are can be critical. When the aqueous layer loses water to evaporation, the salt remains. It is this over-concentration of salt that causes discomfort. Discomfort is alleviated only when the salt concentration is diluted to normal levels. Adding salt to dry irritated eyes (salt is an ingredient in nearly all artificial tear products), cannot not possibly dilute the aqueous layer's salt.Nature's Tears EyeMist – the First and Only!
Nature's Tears EyeMist is the first and only product that utilizes a diffusion of ultra-pure, pH compatible water, with a mild and beneficial mineral content, free from preservatives and formulated chemicals. The water is "Bio-Logic Aqua tissue-culture grade water." This unique water is applied to the eyes – using specially designed vaporizing technology – as an ultra-fine mist, to supply needed moisture, in nanoliter quantities, directly to the tear film's aqueous layer.Source:

Bio-Logic Aqua Research Addresses Dry Air and Dehydration: A Developing Global Crisis
GRANTS PASS, OR, September 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Worldwide, because of global warming, air pollution and population growth, the air we breathe is becoming dangerously and increasingly dry and unhealthy. Dry air and pollution can dehydrate (dry out) the eyes and lead to numerous diseases that are uncomfortable and could result in visual impairment or blindness. The skin is also extremely vulnerable to dry air.
Recent statistics confirm the dangers of dry air and pollution to the eyes and skin. The incidence of chronic dry eye, eye infections (conjunctivitis), glaucoma, dry skin, adult acne and skin cancers is a developing global health crisis. In the US, 100 cities are identified as "Dry Eye Hot Spots." Worldwide, someone goes blind every five seconds.
In reaction to this global crisis, more and more individuals are seeking ways to proactively protect themselves on their own, through such personal items as lip balm, sunscreen, bottled water, protective clothing and all-natural personal humidifying eye mist.
It is now becoming clear that the effects of dry air extend far beyond the eyes and skin. A recent report in a major U.S. news publication stated that, "influenza spreads better in dry air" and that, "it may be worthwhile to add humidity to the air."
Bio-Logic Aqua Research and Technology International of Grants Pass, Oregon, the only research company dedicated exclusively to water and health, has been monitoring this problem for many years and has developed an innovative solution with a breakthrough line of products that create a personal micro-environment of pure, moist, healthy "absolute humidity" around the eyes, facial skin and breathing passages.
The company's signature product, Nature's Tears EyeMist , is an all-natural, pH balanced, pure water dry eye moisturizing mist (patent pending) that is the only consumer product to provide an envelope of fresh, humid air with special properties for maximum penetration into a dehydrated tear film and facial skin. The company also has other personal, proactive environmental moisturizing products in development.
Nature's Tears EyeMist is available nationwide at CVS and other fine drug stores. To order online or learn more, go to http://www.naturestears.com. To order direct, phone 1-800-FOR-MIST. Or ask your ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Bio-Logic Aqua Research, of Grants Pass, Oregon, is the only company, worldwide, dedicated exclusively to water research, therapy and technology for health. The company is helping millions of people to overcome the dehydrating health effects of pollution, global warming and the worldwide water crisis. It’s 100% all-natural, pure water, hand-held moisture replacement devices are saving lives around the world.
According to company Founder Sharon Kleyne, water is the basis of all life on Earth and any water crisis must affect health, life and the environment.
Sharon Kleyne is a well-known business entrepreneur, innovator, researcher, activist, lecturer, radio talk show host, charity organizer and water visionary. Her discoveries and about the global crisis in water and health, and the growing need for all-natural moisture replacement, are finally achieving worldwide recognition by the medical community.
In April, 2009, Bio-Logic Aqua was awarded the first ever patent on the technology of applying pure water as an ultra-fine mist for dry eyes. The company also has pending patents in personal hydration and water technology. All products contain 100% Bio-Logic Aqua all-natural tissue culture grade water, the company’s trade secret.
Bio-Logic Aqua’s signature product is Nature’s Tears® EyeMist®. Your eyes are the only exterior body part not protected by skin. Instead, they are protected by a thin, highly complex structure called the “tear film.” Without a healthy tear film, vision is not possible.
The tear film is 99% water. When the air is dry, the very first body part to begin to dry out is the tear film. Nature’s Tears EyeMist is the only product that replaces lost tear film moisture without formulated chemicals, eyelid lifting or discomfort.
Nature’s Mist® is the only product providing all-natural moisture replacement for dry skin. Formulated crèmes and lotions seal in moisture but do not add moisture, and most water is not readily absorbed into the skin surface because of an incorrect pH. Nature’s Mist was proven in double-blind testing to absorb beneficially to the skin’s deepest layers.
Bio Med Wash® is an emergency first aid product. It is the only 100% all-natural eye wash and is the only eye wash that does not cause burning, blurring or disorientation.
Bio-Logic Aqua, a privately held company, has invested enormous intellectual capital in water therapy and all-natural moisturizing in the global water crisis. There is no other company like it in the world.

The Mission of the Research Center and this Blog
Here is a blurb about the center’s mission from the Bio-Logic Aqua website:
“It’s never been done before!
Bio-Logic Aqua Technologies Biomedical Research is the only company, worldwide, to specialize in all-natural tissue culture grade water and hydrotherapy for pharmaceutical application. The company has conducted this groundbreaking research for well over a decade and is committed to a two-fold objective:
1. Understanding the medical benefits of the company’s rare Bio-Logic Aqua® Absolute Premium Standard™ tissue-culture grade of water
2. Developing applications of the water for the benefit of human health in an increasingly dry and polluted environment”.
This Blog started out as a center for eye health education and that continues to be its main purpose. The only change I have made is the name of the blog, from “Dry Eyes and You” to “Bio-Logic Aqua Technologies Biomedical Research”. I am going to try to bring more research developments to the attention of our consumers so they can be better educated about our products. Hopefully you will find this information helpful in making healthy choices in your personal environment.
Thank you for your continued interest.:)
