Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.05% - 0.25%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. 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 (glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.10% - 0.35%, fructose 0.10% - 0.40%, fructooligosaccharides 0.10% - 0.40% and glycerin 4.50% - 6.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

What does the product description say?
Dear Hydration Water Barrier Cream
Source: From product name
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": fructooligosaccharides, fructose.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
