“DESCRIPTION Haruharu Black Rice Probiotics Barrier Essence is a firming and plumping essence formulated with 5 Ceramide Complex and 5 Fatty Acids Complex to replenish skin barrier, promoting a hydrated and smooth complexion.”
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 wheat protein.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, phytosphingosine
“Infused with Upcycled Black Rice Jigemi (Lees) Extract to provide intense antioxidant and soothing effects.”
