Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "AMUSE - Phytoncica™ Eco Ceramide Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. AMUSE - Phytoncica™ Eco Ceramide Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol, fructooligosaccharides, fructose, glycerin and glucose) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Ceramide np, phytosphingosine, vinyl dimethicone, caprylic/capric triglyceride and cetearyl alcohol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.10% - 0.30% and ceramide np 0.10% - 0.30%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 0.95% - 1.40% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
