Product summary

"Gold Bond - Ultimate Restoring Skin Therapy Lotion" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea, methyl gluceth-20 and butylene glycol in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Caprooyl phytosphingosine, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns and cholesterol 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

  • As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide ns 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide np 0.30% - 0.50%, ceramide eos 0.25% - 0.45%, ceramide eop 0.25% - 0.50%, ceramide ap 0.25% - 0.45%, caprooyl sphingosine 0.25% - 0.45% and caprooyl phytosphingosine 0.25% - 0.50%). 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.
