•By Clinical Dermatology & Formulation Board•5 min clinical read

Formulation & Clinical Summary

Restoring the stratum corneum: physiological 3:1:1 molar ratio of ceramides (NP, AP, EOP), free fatty acids, and cholesterol for trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL).

The epidermal permeability barrier relies on equimolar physiological lipids to prevent Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and shield deep dermis layers from irritants.
