Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Milk Touch - Phyto Mucin Intensive Barrier Cream" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Alanine, arginine, aspartic acid, biosaccharide gum-1 and glutamic acid 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). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, phytosphingosine 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

Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.25%, phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide as 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide ns 0.25% - 0.45%, ceramide np 0.25% - 0.45% and ceramide np 0.20% - 0.40%). 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) - madecassic acid 0.15% - 0.25%, asiatic acid 0.15% - 0.30% and asiaticoside 0.15% - 0.30% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: centella asiatica extract, butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride, panthenol and allantoin

Phyto Mucin Intensive Barrier Cream

Source: From product name

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: alanine, arginine.

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: arginine, cholesterol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide as, ceramide eop, ceramide np, ceramide ns, phytosphingosine

ceramide ns 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A type of lipid similar to ceramides naturally present in skin. Helps to soften the upper layer of the skin and supports the skin barrier function to keep it hydrated. Can help to prevent inflammation in skin

cholesterol 0.25% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An emollient that is naturally found in skin

cysteine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help neutralize free radicals in skin and might be helpful against hyperpigmentation

Anti-aging

This product contains asiaticoside, aspartic acid, lysine, serine, threonine. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.

threonine 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. In combination with other amino-acids, might help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles

asiaticoside 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An active compound of Centella Asiatica plant extract. In combination with other active compounds of Centella Asiatica extract (madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid), asiaticoside has been shown to be helpful in wound-healing, restoring skin barrier function and supporting collagen production in skin. It can, however, itself be irritating

aspartic acid 0.2% - 0.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An amino-acid that helps increase skin hydration and might help to slightly improve skin firmness, potentially reducing lines and wrinkles

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (asiaticoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

The following ingredients - cysteine also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.

asiaticoside 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

cysteine 0.2% - 0.35%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Might help neutralize free radicals in skin and might be helpful against hyperpigmentation

undaria pinnatifida extract 0.15% - 0.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A seaweed extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and might have an anti-oxidant effect
