ingreds & research
key ingreds:
Glycerin - A natural, water-binding moisturizer that’s also in our skin. It is the gold standard, most proven humectant that goes beyond simple hydration. It keeps the skin lipids between our skin cells in a healthy (liquid crystal) state, protects against irritation, and helps to restore the barrier. 5% of Glycerin counts as a medium amount, ideal for combination-oily skin.
Ectoin - An amazing, all-around skin protectant. This well-researched, multi-functional active has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pollution & light protecting, skin hydrating, barrier repairing as well as anti-aging properties.
Isosorbide Dicaprylate - A modern skin hydrator and barrier builder molecule that works particularly well with Glycerin. It is known to upregulate Aquaporin-3, the important water & glycerin channels in the epidermis.
Xylitylglucoside + Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol – A sugar based humectant trio that works in synergy with glycerin to increase the skin’s water-binding capacity and strengthen the skin barrier.
Bisabolol + Allantoin - Two classic skincare ingredients known for their skin soothing abilities.

Being an owner of extremely sensitive skin, I have tried drastically huge amount of different moisturizes. Regardless of the price usually story ended immediately or after couple of months with allergy, clogged pores, redness etc.
This wonderful cream became my real morning star! I have it in my daily rutine already for 6 or even more months and my skin looks and feels gorgeous!
Thank you a lot for your products, quality and available. Looking forward to have one day smth new gorgeous from you as perfect sunscreen (what is also not so easy to find for sensitive skin)!
Nice smell, soft cream
Used this product for one week and by day 2 my face was filled with close condones, cystic acne, and it triggered my fungal acne. Tried to give it a shot but it didn’t work for me. Maybe it’ll work for someone else
I love how light weight yet moisturizing this is. It has a slight cooling sensation which I really like. My only qualm is that I wish it came in a bigger bottle because I use a lot!
Best moisturizer for acne prone dry skin! I need to use two layers, so one tube wont last more than few weeks. Wishing for a bigger size!
