What's actually doing the work
Colloidal Oatmeal
Avena Sativa / Avenanthramides / FDA Skin Protectant
Botanical
FDA-approved as an OTC skin protectant. Contains beta-glucan (barrier-forming polysaccharide), avenanthramides (oat polyphenols with anti-inflammatory and antihistaminic effects), lipids matching skin's composition, and proteins. Clinically demonstrated efficacy for eczema, contact dermatitis, psoriasis and post-radiation skin changes.
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.
Shea Butter
Butyrospermum Parkii / Karite Butter
Lipid
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.
