Highlights

Suitable for

All skin types, especially dry and sensitive skin.

Why we stand behind it

This deeply moisturizing contains ceramides to maintain youthful, plump, well-hydrated skin and fatty acids to balance the skin′s oil ratio.

With plant-based cholesterol to deliver an emollient and creamy texture for profound moisture and polyunsaturated fatty acids, it works to support proper barrier function. Formulated without essential oils, which are disruptive to some users with sensitive skin.

Key ingredients

Ceramides: Lipid molecules within cell membranes, they help cells form a protective layer that plumps skin and retains moisture.
Cholesterol: An important barrier lipid, it has water-binding properties and is crucial to maintaining proper barrier function.
Fatty acids: Polyunsaturated fats crucial to proper barrier function, examples are: Cranberry Seed oil, Black Raspberry seed oil, Chia seed oil, prickly pear seed oil, evening primrose oil.
Phosphatidyl serine: A phospholipid that is an important (though small) component of the lipid barrier. Some studies show topical application slows wrinkling by inhibiting enzymes that break down collagen.
Eicosapentaenoic acid: A vegan alternative (from algae oil) to the hard-to-get type of Omega-3 (EPA) found in fatty fish.

the best

"love it!"

— Jessica B. (5/5)

using this for years

"I have very reactive skin that is also acne-prone, and this is the most healing oil I add on at the end of my steps in the evening. Saves me especially in dry winters! Forever fan."

— Kate H. (5/5)

A+ for moisturizing and repairing barrier

"This was a product recommended via a facial and I couldn't recommend more if you have dry skin that you struggle to bring back to neutral as you've continued to age. Does have a funny scent (unscented, but is lipid/cholesterol heavy)/texture, but nothing overwhelming. If your dryness won't quit, this will have you glowing in no time!"

— Tiffany V. (4/5)
