Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Raunsborg - Sensitive Repair Cream 70%" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Raunsborg - Sensitive Repair Cream 70% ticks this box. Humectants in this product (betaine and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, cholesterol and helianthus annuus seed oil) 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

  • Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (ceramide eop 0.10% - 0.45%, phytosphingosine 0.15% - 0.55%, ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.50% and ceramide np 0.20% - 0.80%). 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.
  • In addition, this moisturizer contains Allantoin (0.90% - 1.35%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
