Ceramides are barrier lipids (oils) found naturally in skin and are essential in supporting the skin barrier and retaining moisture. When your skin ceramide levels are low, the skin barrier is weakened, allowing moisture to escape. Applying ceramides to dry or very dry skin helps support the renewal of the skin’s natural protective layer, forms a barrier itself against moisture loss, supports dry skin recovery and strengthens skin barrier function. Pro-Vitamin B5 Pro-vitamin B5 enhances the skin’s natural healing process through its two main properties as an emollient, helping to seal the skin, and as a moisture-binding humectant. Pro-vitamin B5 is one of our heavy hitters against dry skin because it also strengthens skin barrier function, improves skin softness and elasticity, and helps reduce skin redness. Glycerin
