The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on.
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.
Extracted from the African shea tree nut. Rich in oleic and stearic acid, with unsaponifiable fractions including lupeol (anti-inflammatory triterpene), allantoin (soothing), and cinnamic acid (mild UV absorber). These give shea butter genuine anti-inflammatory properties beyond occlusion. Comedogenicity rating 0 — ideal for dry and eczema-prone skin.
