Quantity:
  • Restorative CERAMIDES + FATTY ACIDS + CHOLESTEROL rebuild barrier lipid integrity. Moisturize at a profound level.
  • Ceramides maintain youthful, plump, well-hydrated skin.
  • Cholesterol lubricates surface layers, delivering an emollient + creamy texture to moisturize profoundly, without risk of irritation or breakouts.
  • Biomimetic fatty acids balance the skin’s oil ratio without essential oils to disrupt barrier lipid balance or threaten its microbiome.

Epidermal lipids are an essential part of the skin’s stratum corneum. Therefore the most effective lipids for maintaining skin health are those most identical to the epidermal lipids: ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids.

Intercellular lipid damage compromises barrier function, which can lead to transepidermal water loss. TEWL can result in dryness, irritation and wrinkles.

Therefore it’s evident that lipids are an integral part of skin health, and the key to a well-functioning barrier system. The essence of skin moisturizing is lipid replacement, best accomplished by applying the relevant lipids

Shake well. Apply approximately one dropper full into palm of hand. Massage onto face, neck and chest, avoiding eye contour area. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult physician. 

Keep in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.

CERAMIDES Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture. 

CHOLESTEROL An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function. 

FATTY ACIDS Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil. 

PHOSPHATIDYL SERINE A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen. 

EICOSAPENTAENOIC ACID A vegan alternative (from algae oil) to the hard-to-get type of Omega-3 (EPA) found in fatty fish.
