A rich, restorative moisturizer formulated with essential ceramides, shea butter, and Natural Moisturizing Factors to intensely hydrate and repair the skin barrier.
This is a powerhouse formula designed for dry, rough, or bumpy skin. It features a gold-standard barrier repair complex including three types of Ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine, which work synergistically to restore the skin’s protective layer. The inclusion of Hydroxyethyl Urea provides intensive hydration and mild keratolytic (smoothing) effects, while Shea Butter offers rich emolliency. Furthermore, the presence of NMF (Natural Moisturizing Factor) components like Sodium PCA, Glycine, Serine, and Alanine ensures deep, long-lasting moisture retention.
The safety profile is excellent, particularly for sensitive skin types, as it is fragrance-free and free from drying simple alcohols. The preservation system (utilizing Hydroxyacetophenone, Caprylyl Glycol, and Benzoic Acid) is generally well-tolerated. However, those prone to body acne (such as on the back or chest) should be aware of Isopropyl Palmitate and Myristic Acid, which can be comedogenic (pore-clogging). The formula contains PEGs and Dimethicone, which are safe and functional but sometimes avoided by consumers adhering to strict natural or ‘clean’ beauty standards.
This is a scientifically sophisticated moisturizer that goes beyond simple hydration to actively repair and smooth the skin. The combination of Ceramides, Urea, and Amino Acids makes it a top-tier choice for compromising skin conditions like xerosis or keratosis pilaris. It offers clinical-grade performance with a high safety threshold, making it suitable for daily use on the vast majority of skin types.
This formulation represents a highly sophisticated approach to body hydration, prioritizing barrier repair and biological moisture retention over simple occlusion. The ingredient list is anchored by a robust combination of Glycerin and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, ensuring that moisture is drawn into the deep layers of the skin while creating a nourishing seal that prevents transepidermal water loss. What distinguishes this product is the inclusion of a comprehensive lipid complex—Ceramide NP, AP, and EOP, working in tandem with Cholesterol and Phytosphingosine. This specific blend effectively mimics the skin’s natural lipid structure, making it a superior choice for restoring compromised barriers often seen in conditions like eczema, xerosis, or winter dryness. Furthermore, the inclusion of Hydroxyethyl Urea and a suite of amino acids—including Glycine, Serine, and Alanine—replenishes the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). This ensures that the hydration is not just superficial but helps the skin hold onto water biologically over time. Texture-wise, the inclusion of Dimethicone ensures the product glides on smoothly and dries down to a comfortable, protective finish, avoiding the greasiness often associated with heavy balms. Additionally, Hydroxyethylpiperazine Ethane Sulfonic Acid provides very mild enzymatic exfoliation to smooth out rough texture without irritation. While the formula is excellent for sensitive and dry types due to the complete lack of fragrance and drying alcohols, those with oily or acne-prone body skin should proceed with caution. The presence of Isopropyl Palmitate and Shea Butter, while excellent moisturizers, can be comedogenic and might exacerbate congestion on areas like the back or chest. Ultimately, this is a powerhouse product for anyone needing serious moisture restoration and support for a weakened skin barrier.
