The high concentrate Ceramide NP rich formulated formula which is skin lipid analogs works to strengthen the skin barrier by creating a protective barrier against external stressors, effectively preventing moisture loss. 

These skin lipid analogs emulate the natural lipids present in the human skin, reinforcing the skin barrier (Fig. 1) and providing protect against environmental stressors.

Skin Barrier Reinforcement System

1)Squalane, a lightweight and easily absorbed emollient, works in harmony with 2)Hydrogenated Lecithin to replenish lipids crucial for maintaining skin structure and integrity. 

3)Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, rich in essential fatty acids, contributes to skin nourishment and suppleness.

The inclusion of 4)Ceramide NP, a key component of the skin's natural structure, strengthens the intercellular matrix, promoting optimal moisture retention and overall barrier function. 

Ceramide NP is one of several types of ceramides found naturally in skin. It plays a critical role as a major component of skin’s outer layers (healthy skin is generally composed of 50% ceramides, many of which are of the NP variety). “N” stands for the type of normal fatty acid correlated to this ingredient and “P” stands for its phytosphingosine base. Research shows skin care products containing ceramide NP can help improve the look and feel of dry or dehydrated skin thanks to its water retention properties. Ceramide NP has also been shown to reinforce skin’s barrier strength to better resist external stressors. Overall, it contributes to supple, resilient, hydrated skin. 

Additionally, 5)Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols complement this effect by providing essential building blocks for lipid synthesis, further supporting the reinforcement of the skin barrier.
