Hydrating Moisturizer with Ceramide

Four ceramides in a physiologically appropriate ratio (3:1:1 with cholesterol and fatty acids) is a well-established and safe barrier-repair approach. No parabens, no SLS, no fragrance allergens. Cyclopentasiloxane (D5), the second-largest ingredient by proportion, is a volatile cyclic silicone. The EU has restricted D5 below 0.1% in wash-off products due to aquatic persistence; equivalent restrictions for leave-on products are not yet in force, and human health risk at cosmetic concentrations is considered low by regulators. Polysilicone-11 at position 3 adds a soft-focus film-forming effect. Decyl Glucoside appears in position 4, providing mild surfactant action for emulsion stability. No known skin sensitisers at these concentrations. Contains Allergen Free Fragrance — not fragrance-free.

The ceramide delivery system here is clinically sound: Ceramides 1, 2, 3, and 6 II alongside Hydrogenated Lecithin, Caprylic/Capric Glycerides, and Polyglyceryl-10 Esters replicates the lamellar lipid structure of the stratum corneum. The 3:1:1 ceramide:cholesterol:fatty acid ratio is published as optimal for barrier repair. Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer provides long-lasting surface hydration. The silicone base (D5 + Dimethicone) creates a protective film that locks in the ceramide complex and prevents transepidermal water loss — appropriate for a barrier-repair moisturiser. However, ceramide and cholesterol concentrations are not individually disclosed, which limits assessment of whether the ratio claim is accurately reflected in the formula.

The 3:1:1 ceramide:cholesterol:fatty acid ratio claim is scientifically specific and positive for transparency, though the actual ceramide concentrations in the formula are not disclosed. '24-hour hydration' is a standard moisturiser claim requiring substantiation data, which has not been published. 'Non-sticky' is a verifiable texture claim. Allergen Free Fragrance presence is not prominently disclosed in marketing. No third-party clinical reports published.

Cruelty-free, vegan, Indian brand. No SLS or parabens. Cyclopentasiloxane (D5) is a persistent environmental pollutant with documented aquatic accumulation — this is the primary environmental concern with this product, as it is the second-largest ingredient by volume. Disodium EDTA as chelator. Allergen Free Fragrance — synthetic fragrance component. Olive-derived emollient system is plant-based.
