Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Be Minimalist - Ceramides 0.3% + Madecassoside" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Be Minimalist - Ceramides 0.3% + Madecassoside ticks this box. Humectants in this product (aminobutyric acid, glycerin, glyceryl glucoside, saccharide isomerate and trehalose) 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). Emollients in this formulation (avena sativa kernel extract, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns and cholesterol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide ap 0.20% - 0.40%, ceramide as 0.20% - 0.40%, ceramide ns 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide eop 0.25% - 0.50% and ceramide np 0.25% - 0.50%). 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.
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.40% - 0.60% The Centella Asiatica Actives, even in low concentration, can help reduce inflammation in skin, strengthen the skin barrier and reduce photodamage.
