In honour of Epilepsy Awareness Month
Every November, we turn our attention to neurological health. Conditions such as epilepsy, neuropathic pain, multiple sclerosis, and other nervous-system disorders affect millions globally — not just in terms of neural transmission, but in how the nervous system interfaces with the rest of the body, including the skin.
At Trilipiderm, we believe skin health is deeply linked to neurobiology and sensory balance. This year, we honor that connection with The Special Edition Lavendé Edit—a calming lavender collection benefiting the Epilepsy Foundation with 10% of proceeds.
The Neuro-Skin Connection: Why Neurological Research Matters
Neurological disorders often have a hidden link to the skin. Because both the skin and nervous system develop from the same tissue, they’re closely connected—neural health directly affects skin hydration, sensitivity, and inflammation. As Nature notes, “evidence links skin barrier weakness with neurodivergent conditions.” In short, dry or damaged skin isn’t just cosmetic—it’s part of the nervous system’s response.
This is significant for two reasons:
+ Medication effects: Many neurological drugs—like those for epilepsy or nerve pain—can cause dryness and irritation. MDPI reports that “side effects often include mild issues like dry skin,” which can worsen discomfort or disrupt sleep.
+ Sensory and structural shifts: Even when skin looks normal, nerves inside it react to dryness or tension. News-Medical explains that “mechanical changes at the skin’s surface trigger signals to the brain we interpret as tightness.”
That’s why skincare for neurological conditions must do more than hydrate; it should restore the barrier, replenish lipids with our patented Medasynnian Lipid Complex® found in the Hydrating All-Body Oil and All-Body Moisture Retention Crème, calm the senses, and soothe through aromachology.
The Science of Lavender & Aromatherapy
Lavender (typically Lavandula angustifolia) is renowned in aromatherapy, but the research confirms its neuro-physiological benefits.
Studies show that lavender oil “may be effective in treating several neurological disorders” (PMC), and that inhaling its scent can increase calm, helping the body shift from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest” (PMC).
Research from Frontiers shows that lavender’s main compound, linalool, interacts with brain receptors that regulate mood, stress, and nerve activity—making it especially beneficial for those with epilepsy, nerve pain, or sensory sensitivity.
By calming the nervous system, lavender helps ease the sensory stress that can make skin feel dry or tight. When paired with Hydrating Exfoliating Face Lavender, Hydrating Exfoliating Body Lavender, and our Hydrating All-Body Oil Lavender, this soothing synergy restores balance—promoting relaxation, hydration, and healthier, more resilient skin.
Introducing the Special Edition Lavendè Edit
To honour Epilepsy Awareness Month this November, we present our Special Edition “Lavendè Edit”—a ritual-inspired collection of lavender-infused skincare designed for body + face, nervous system comfort + skin barrier repair.
The bundle includes:
+ Lavender Hydrating All-Body Oil Mini: A luxurious fusion of Medasynnian Lipid Complex, antioxidant vitamins A, C & E, and pure Lavender Essential Oil that deeply nourishes, softens, and envelopes the skin in soothing tranquility.
+ Lavender Hydrating Exfoliating Body Scrub Mini: Infused with Lavender Essential Oil, Medasynnian Lipid Complex, and naturally derived cleansing agents, this indulgent cleanser polishes and restores balance while leaving a calming aroma on the skin.
+ Hydrating Exfoliating Face Cleanser (Fragrance Free): Formulated with Medasynnian Lipid Complex, Olive-Derived Squalane, and Yucca Extract, this gentle exfoliant refines texture and replenishes hydration for a supple, radiant complexion.
+ Plus a curated selection of small lavender-infused self-care extras (think travel-size balm, sachet, candle or similar) to complete the ritual.
Most Importantly: For every purchase of the Lavendè Edit, we will donate 10% of proceeds to the Epilepsy Foundation, supporting neurological research, advocacy, and community resources.

+ For scalp or tattooed skin affected by neural medications or dryness: the Hydrating All-Body Oil is also clinically proven and ideal for scalp/hair/beard use.
A Message of Advocacy & Empathy 🌿
Neurological disorders such as epilepsy or chronic nerve pain are deeply personal—and often gliding under the radar of society’s skincare conversation. November invites us to broaden that lens. By supporting neurological research, by understanding how medications may impact the skin, by inviting soothing rituals that engage the nervous system as well as the dermis—we nurture healing from inside out.
At Trilipiderm, we honour the journeys of those living with neurological conditions. With the Lavendè Edit, our goal is to offer more than skin-care: we offer soothing, connection, ritual, and purpose. We hope this bundle becomes a symbol of the calm you deserve, and a meaningful way for you to join a larger cause.
