The stratum corneum is the outer layer of skin and helps protect against loss of moisture and contains a precise ratio of special physiological lipids: Ceramide, Cholesterol, Palmitic Acid. Skin barrier damage leads to excessive water loss and to dehydration. The unique patented formula delivers a natural physiological ratio of Ceramide 3, Cholesterol, Palmitic Acid, which Replenishes the damaged skin barrier lipids and optimally restores hydration of the stratum corneum

When the skin barrier is disrupted, the skin loses excessive water. This leads to dehydration and shrinkage of corneocytes. This shrinkage cause further “leakiness” and the skin barrier function is further weakened. Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMFs) are produced from the processing of certain proteins when the living cells of the deeper skin tissues are transformed naturally into the corneocytes of the outer skin. The unique patented formula contains natural moisturizing factors of Tyrosine, PCA, and Sodium Hyaluronate, which maintains optimal hydration of the corneocytes and reduces excessive loss of water from the skin.

HPA (Hydroxypinacolone retinoate) is a modern derivative of vitamin A and does not require a conversion process to work. It acts directly on the skin to deliver the same benefits as retinol with much less if any skin irritation. HPA activates the TauT, which is one of the most important physiological processes for enabling the living skin cells of the epidermis to maintain hydration. It is activated within minutes after the outside layers of the skin are exposed to dehydration,
irritation, ultraviolet radiation and other stressors. TauT transports taurine from the spaces outside the skin cells into the inside.

The Osmolyte Taurine is present throughout the human body and is found in high concentrations in the epidermis of the skin. It is the most abundant osmolyte and is transported from spaces outside skin cells to the inside by TauT. Taurine Carries water into the skin cells to protect against damaging dehydration and it plays a crucial role as a cell protecting osmolyte.
