3
Pro-vitamin B5 that soothes and hydrates.
5
A synthetic ceramide-analogue combining myristoyl/palmitoyl fatty chains with oxostearamide/arachamide MEA, designed to replenish ceramide NP-type lipids in the skin barrier; used in Real Barrier formulations.
9
A gold-standard humectant that draws water into the skin.
16
A gentle urea-derived humectant that hydrates without the roughness of high-dose urea.
