• aids in reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles 
• improves overall skin texture, tone and clarity 

Hyaluronic Acid 

Hyaluronic acid is one of the best-known and referenced moisturizing and hydrating cosmetic ingredients. Hyaluronic acid is available in differing molecular weights.  

The Ultra-High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (known under the tradename Hyacross ™) contained in Barrier Fortifying and Hydrating Cream has undergone extensive clinical studies showing benefits for skin elasticity, skin smoothness, and skin hydration.

Skin Elasticity 

Compared to the control group, the skin elasticity of the Hyacross™ group was significantly increased. After 4 weeks of application, the relative skin elasticity increasing rate for the Hyacross™ group reached 21.6%.

Skin Smoothness 

A randomized, double-blind placebo controlled evaluation of Hyacross™ was carried out on 20 healthy females. The result showed a significant improvement in skin smoothness in 35% of the volunteers after 30 days.

Skin Hydration 

Compared to the control group, the skin hydration of the Hyacross™ group was increased by 85% after 0.5h and 110% after 1h. Hyacross™ increased skin hydration even after 24h.

Vegetable Ceramides 

Ceramides are keys to maintaining the moisture and protective barrier of the skin surface to keep the skin renewed. They:   

• Increase moisture and hydrate dry skin 
• Renew, repair and firm aging skin 
• Reduce dryness, lines, and wrinkles 

Several forms of ceramides are available, with many derived from animal sources. In keeping with our vegetable-derived ingredient philosophy, the ceramide used in Barrier Fortifying and Hydrating Cream is vegetable-derived. Within the ingredient directory, it is called Glycosphingolipids 

Ectoine  

Ectoine is an amino acid derivative made by a natural fermentation process. Ectoine is a multi-functional ingredient with many well-documented skincare benefits. Barrier Fortifying and Hydrating Cream contains ectoine for its skin barrier repair, skin protection, and anti-pollution properties as shown by the following studies:

Microbiome-Friendly Barrier Fortifying and Hydrating Cream combines the barrier repair and skin protecting benefits of Superfruit Fermbiotic™* G, vegetable ceramides, and ectoine with the moisturizing benefits of Hyaluronic Acid. The result is an advanced Cream to help fortify, protect, and support the skin’s natural moisture barrier, keeping moisture in to maintain a youthful, healthy look.
