Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.40% - 0.95%, ceramide eop 1.10% - 1.70%, ceramide ap 1.30% - 1.90% and ceramide np 1.60% - 2.50%). 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.
We love that there is also Linoleic Acid in this moisturizer (0.40% - 0.95%). Linoleic Acid is one of the skin's natural emollients. It supports the skin barrier and can even help reduce clogged pores.
