Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Humectants (rice amino acids 0.05% - 0.20% and glycerin 0.30% - 0.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
