2% Ceramide-Peptide Barrier Repair Moisturizer
A solid barrier repair moisturiser with a genuine 5-ceramide complex, but the undisclosed removal of Tamanu and Chia Seed Oil from a prior version represents a consumer transparency failure.

Barrier compromise is chronically underdiagnosed in India, where harsh soaps, hard water, and air conditioning create a cycle of moisture loss and sensitisation. The five-ceramide complex mirrors the lipid composition of healthy skin and is supported by clinical literature for dry and eczema-prone conditions. Aloe Vera as the primary co-base resonates strongly in India where aloe is a well-understood traditional skin soother. Chamomile and Oat Extract benefit India's population prone to heat rash, monsoon humidity-related dermatitis, and air-conditioning-induced skin dryness. Sweet Almond Oil is well-suited for dry skin but acne-prone users should note the moderate comedogenicity potential. Suitable for post-treatment barrier recovery after active serums.
This is a web evidence review, not a Clean Sheet certification. We checked the ingredient list, publicly available test reports, marketing claims, and formula logic using only public information available at the time of review.
At a glance
What was checked
Each claim checked against publicly available evidence: published test reports, the ingredient list, and regulatory data.
'2%' is a combined total for ceramides and peptides. Individual concentrations not disclosed, making it impossible to verify whether any single component is at a clinically effective level.
Ceramide mechanism for barrier repair is established, but no formula-specific clinical study has been published.
Chamomile and oat extract are appropriate ingredients for eczema-prone skin, but no dermatologist testing or clinical study has been published for this formula.
Score breakdown
Public Evidence Score across 5 pillars. Open any row for the full rationale.
Ingredient SafetyExcellent29/30Clean allergen profile with a fragrance free formula.
Excellent safety profile. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, no synthetic dyes. Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Oat Extract, and Squalane are among the safest cosmetic ingredients available. Sweet Almond Oil is well-tolerated but carries moderate comedogenicity potential that is relevant for acne-prone users. Sodium Benzoate is an appropriate preservative for this formula type; it works best at low pH and its combination with Potassium Sorbate is a standard effective pairing. Phenoxyethanol at a late list position confirms it is within permitted limits.
Formula LogicStrong22/25The five-ceramide complex covers all major ceramide classes found in healthy skin.
The five-ceramide complex covers all major ceramide classes found in healthy skin. The ceramide analog Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide integrates alongside the natural ceramides in the skin's lamellar structure. Aloe Vera at a high early concentration is a meaningful soothing and anti-inflammatory co-base rather than a token ingredient. Chamomile and Oat Extract add clinically supported anti-pruritic and barrier-tolerant soothing effects for eczema and reactive skin. The five peptides provide collagen-stimulating and anti-inflammatory support as a secondary function layer. The current formula replaces the previous linoleic acid-focused oils with Sweet Almond Oil, which is a capable but less differentiated emollient choice.
Claims EvidenceFair14/25The brand states '2% Ceramide-Peptide' but does not disclose how this total is distributed across the five ceramides and five peptides individually.
The brand states '2% Ceramide-Peptide' but does not disclose how this total is distributed across the five ceramides and five peptides individually. All ceramide classes are correctly identified by specific names, which is a transparency positive. A prior version of this formula included Tamanu Oil, Chia Seed Oil, and Shea Butter; those ingredients are absent from the current verified INCI, and there is no publicly disclosed communication about this reformulation. No clinical study for this formula has been published.
Test TransparencyGrade CFair7/15No independent test reports, clinical studies, or efficacy data are publicly accessible for this product.
No independent test reports, clinical studies, or efficacy data are publicly accessible for this product. No documentation of the reformulation change or before/after comparison data has been published.
Consumer ClarityGood3/5Ceramide names are correctly listed and the eczema-suitability message is communicated.
Ceramide names are correctly listed and the eczema-suitability message is communicated. The '2%' combined total disclosure without individual breakdown understates the information needed to verify efficacy. The silent reformulation removing Tamanu, Chia Seed, and Shea Butter without consumer communication is a material consumer clarity failure.
