Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Holika Holika - Good Cera Super Ceramide Essential Oil" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Holika Holika - Good Cera Super Ceramide Essential Oil ticks this box. Glycerin, butylene glycol, caprylyl glycol and monascus extract 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, glycine soja sterols, glycosphingolipids and hydroxypropyl bispalmitamide mea) 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

  • As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (ceramide np 0.10% - 0.50%, ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.55% and ceramide ap 0.05% - 0.30%). 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.
