Ceramide NP improves the skin barrier function, prevents the skin from dehydration and keeps out of environmental irritants.
Ceramide EOP nourishes damaged skin barriers and regulates TEWL in a more efficient way.
Phytosphingosine retrieves the damaged skin barrier.
Cholesterol supports and boosts the skin’s barrier functioning.
Role-
• Bolsters the skin barrier strength
• Seals the moisture
• Enhances the barrier function
Sodium hyaluronate-
Mechanism-
Its low molecular weight allows it to penetrate into dermis, aids in improving the production of collagen, the structural protein that plays a key role in moisture retention. On addition sodium hyaluronate’s humectant property helps to attract the moisture.
Role-
• It helps to moisturize the skin, look youthful and supple.
• Helps to improve moisture reserves.
Niacinamide- 2%
Mechanism-
Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, increases its resiliency, and improves texture by boosting collagen production. It also helps balance oil production.
Role-
• It enhances the skin moisture retaining capacity
• It improves the skin protective barrier functioning and integrity.
Allantoin-
Mechanism-
Allantoin helps to shed dead skin cells, and majorly it is a non-irritating ingredient that soothes and protects the skin.
Role-
• It moisturizes the skin to prevent dryness and irritation.
• It soothes the skin.
