What's actually doing the work
Ceramides
Ceramide NP / AP / EOP / Skin Barrier Lipids
Lipid
Lipids constituting ~50% of the stratum corneum intercellular matrix. Together with cholesterol and free fatty acids, ceramides form the lamellar bilayer structure preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and shielding against irritants and pathogens. Levels decline with age, dry skin conditions, eczema and UV exposure. Robust clinical evidence for barrier restoration and eczema management.
Green Tea Extract
EGCG / Epigallocatechin Gallate / Camellia Sinensis
Botanical
Rich in catechins, primarily EGCG — a potent free-radical scavenger, anti-inflammatory, and mild androgen receptor inhibitor relevant to sebum reduction. Topical EGCG reduces sebum, calms inflammatory acne, provides UV photoprotection, and inhibits MMP activity that degrades the dermal matrix.
