A deeply restorative, fragrance-free moisturizer formulated with a barrier-mimicking blend of Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Fatty Acids, supported by nourishing Shea Butter and Squalane.
This formula is a powerhouse for barrier repair, featuring the ‘golden trio’ of lipids: Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine. It effectively hydrates using Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, while Squalane, Shea Butter, and Jojoba Oil provide excellent emollient properties without feeling overly greasy. The inclusion of Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) and Watermelon Seed Oil adds nourishing fatty acids and antioxidants, making it highly effective for dry or dehydrated skin.
The safety profile is exceptional as it is fragrance-free, essential oil-free, and void of drying alcohols. It utilizes a modern, gentle preservative system (1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin) rather than potentially irritating parabens or formaldehyde releasers. While Coconut Fruit Extract and Shea Butter are generally safe, those with extremely acne-prone skin should monitor for potential congestion, though the risk is relatively low compared to pure coconut oil.
This is a top-tier moisturizer that perfectly balances clinical efficacy with gentle ingredients. The focus on skin-identical ingredients (Ceramides, Phospholipids) combined with soothing botanicals makes it ideal for sensitive or compromised skin barriers. It delivers deep hydration and protection without common irritants.
This facial moisturizer is an impressively formulated product that focuses heavily on skin barrier restoration and biomimetic hydration. The ingredient list reads like a checklist for optimal skin health, centering around ingredients that mimic the natural structure of the skin. The inclusion of Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine, alongside free fatty acids like Stearic Acid and Behenic Acid, indicates a sophisticated approach to strengthening the stratum corneum. These components work synergistically to repair the protective barrier, making this an ideal choice for skin that has been damaged by over-exfoliation, harsh weather, or active ingredients like retinoids. By reinforcing the barrier, the cream helps lock in moisture and prevent transepidermal water loss effectively. To support these structural lipids, the formula utilizes a robust base of emollients. Squalane and Jojoba Seed Oil are excellent additions because they are chemically similar to human sebum, allowing for deep nourishment without feeling overly heavy or greasy. However, the presence of Shea Butter adds a necessary richness, providing an occlusive seal that is particularly beneficial for dry and dehydrated skin types. The product balances these oils with Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, powerful humectants that draw water into the skin layers to maintain plumpness and elasticity. Another major strength of this formulation is its safety profile for sensitive skin. It is free from drying alcohols, essential oils, and synthetic fragrances, which are common triggers for irritation. Instead, it includes soothing agents like Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Adansonia Digitata (Baobab) extracts to calm inflammation. While the texture appears rich due to the lipid content, the use of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride suggests it will still have a silky, spreadable finish. Overall, this is a high-performance moisturizer. It prioritizes long-term skin health over temporary sensory appeal. While the richness provided by the Coconut Fruit Extract and Shea Butter might be slightly too heavy for extremely oily complexions, it is a powerhouse for anyone needing intense moisture and repair.
