Ce- ramides help structure and strengthen the water permeability barrier function of the skin.

Its hydrating properties reduce dry- ness and restores normal barrier function. Hyaluronic Acid Hyaluronic acid (HA) is naturally present in the body and plays a vital role in skin cell activity and hydration. An abundance of HA attracts and retains moisture up to 1000x its weight in water, to promote nutrient absorption and plump the extracellular matrix of the skin.

Shea Butter is a natural skin moisturizer with plenty of Vitamins A, E, and F to enhance cell regeneration and capillary circulation. It moisturizes the skin with all the essential elements it needs for balance, elasticity, and tone. Sphingolipids These active lipids function as skin-repairing and conditioning ingredients, with their ability to provide long-lasting moisturiza- tion and protection against environmental aggressors.

This antioxidant is a natural component of human sebum with emollient properties that soften and soothe the skin.

It provides high content of Omega-6 es- sential fatty acid necessary for healthy development of cells.
