Key ingredients

Combines with fatty acids and cholesterol to repair skin barrier

Phospholipids
Phospholipids are essential for maintaining the skin barrier by forming protective bilayers that prevent moisture loss and shield against irritants. In skincare, they enhance hydration, repair the lipid barrier, and improve ingredient delivery. Their fatty acid components help restore the skin’s lipid barrier, aiding in moisture retention. Examples include Phosphatidylcholine, which restores lipid content, and Lecithin, an emollient that smooths and hydrates the skin for better barrier function.

Phytosterols
Phytosterols is a family of plant-derived compounds similar to cholesterol. They help strengthen the skin barrier by enhancing lipid content and maintaining moisture. When formulated with fatty acids and ceramides, phytosterols further support the skin barrier by reinforcing its structure, reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Phytosterols exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α and IL-6, which are key mediators of inflammation. They also block the release of prostaglandins by interfering with the arachidonic acid pathway, reducing inflammatory responses in the skin. Beta-Sitosterol is a specific type of phytosterol.
