Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide eop 0.30% - 0.75%, ceramide ap 0.20% - 0.70%, phytosphingosine 0.35% - 0.80%, ceramide np 0.35% - 0.75%, ceramide eop 0.50% - 1.10%, ceramide ap 0.45% - 1.10%, phytosphingosine 0.80% - 1.20% and ceramide np 1.10% - 1.70%). 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.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.35% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.20% - 0.70%, hexapeptide-11 0.20% - 0.70%, oligopeptide-1 0.20% - 0.70%, oligopeptide-3 0.20% - 0.70%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.35% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.40% - 2.10%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.50% - 2.30%, hexapeptide-11 1.90% - 2.80%, oligopeptide-1 2.20% - 3.30%, oligopeptide-3 4.50% - 6.70% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 4.70% - 7.10%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.55%, tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract 0.15% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.70%, saccharide isomerate 0.20% - 0.75%, glycerin 0.40% - 0.90%, tremella fuciformis sporocarp extract 0.35% - 0.85% and sodium hyaluronate 25.00% - 38.00%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: cholesterol, coco-caprylate/caprate.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, hexapeptide-11, oligopeptide-1, oligopeptide-3, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, phytosphingosine
