Key Ingredients

•         Squalane (7%): A highly stable and pleasant fatty fluid that occurs naturally in human skin sebum. It is a wonderful moisturizer that makes the skin silky smooth without being heavy or greasy. It is compatible with almost all skin types and conditions, including acne-prone skin.

•         Lipids (3%) - Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters, Phytosteryl Macadamiate, Phytosterols, Squalene: A patented blend of lipids from jojoba, macadamia and olive oil that mimics the surface lipid composition of healthy, young adult skin. At 3% usage, it is clinically proven to help restore the barrier and hydrate the skin. Works synergistically with Ceramide 2

•         Ceramide 2 (Ceramide NG) (0.1%): Also known as Ceramide NG, it is one of the 9 types of ceramides found naturally in the upper layer of the skin. Ceramides are extremely important molecules for keeping the barrier healthy and the skin hydrated.

•         Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (standardized to 90% polyphenols): Green tea polyphenols are one of the most studied natural ingredients proven to possess powerful antioxidant, UV-protective, and soothing properties.

•         Bisabolol + Allantoin: Two classic skincare ingredients known for their soothing capabilities.

•         Saccharide Isomerate: A skin-identical carbohydrate molecule that binds to the skin like a magnet and provides long-lasting hydration.
