Ceramide NP is one of the most important ceramides found naturally in human skin. It plays a key role in maintaining a strong, healthy moisture barrier — the skin’s protective shield. When this barrier is damaged, skin becomes dry, irritated, and more sensitive. It helps restore that balance.

In skincare formulas, the component works by filling in the microscopic gaps between skin cells, much like mortar between bricks. This strengthens the outer layer of the skin, reduces moisture loss, and enhances overall resilience. Products containing Ceramide NP are especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin, including conditions like irritation from over-exfoliating or cold weather exposure.

Its biggest advantage is biocompatibility: Ceramide NP closely mimics the skin’s own natural ceramides, making it highly effective and well-tolerated. When combined with cholesterol and fatty acids, its performance is even better, helping to rebuild the lipid barrier more efficiently.

Overall, Ceramide NP is a gentle yet powerful ingredient that supports long-term skin health by reinforcing hydration, smoothing texture, and improving the skin’s ability to protect itself.

Sodium Hyaluronate is an amazing component! It plays very important role in skin hydration process. It helps to maintain water balance and lower water loss. Scientists have found a direct dependence between the level of Sodium Hyaluronate in cells and skin aging. That's why this component is so much important. It must be in your routine if you want to have a healthy and fresh looking skin.

Some people think that Sodium Hyaluronate and Hyaluronic acid are different names of the same component, but it is not entirely correct. Hyaluronic acid is a different chemical but with similar effects. Actually, Sodium Hyaluronate is used in cosmetics much more often because it’s more stable and has much better resistance to oxidation.

Pentylene Glycol is a great replacement for Propylene Glycol. It has very similar characteristics but it’s derived from plants (usually from corn). Natural cosmetics lovers will find this component very useful. It enhances the moisturizing effect of cosmetic products, improves the efficiency of preservatives and it’s an effective emulsifier. It’s approved by ECOCERT and COSMOS so it’s considered to be 100% safe and can be used in vegan products.

Tocopherol is one of the most popular active ingredients in cosmetics. It’s a brilliant component. It's a form of Vitamin E and it does help the skin and hair a lot. It conditions the skin, strengthens its barrier, protects it against harm, and makes the tone even. It also helps your skin and hair to resist the sun. It’s safe but can irritate sensitive skin sometimes. Pay attention to concentration!

Palmitic Acid is an emulsion stabilizer. It reduces water evaporation from the surface of your skin. That’s why this component is good if you suffer from dryness. It also increases the efficiency of other surfactants in the formulation. It can be found in many organic oils including Avocado oil, Cocoa oil, Olive oil etc.

Butylene Glycol is a very popular synthetic alcohol. It helps the product to absorb deeper and faster. It is also a solvent for other ingredients. As for the skin benefits, it helps to attract water and helps to make the skin softer.
