The efficacy score is driven by a well-constructed emollient and humectant system (glycerin, glycols, silicones, fatty alcohols and acids) plus a genuine barrier lipid blend (ceramide NP, ceramide-like Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA, cholesterol, phytosphingosine, hydrogenated lecithin), even though the declared ceramide concentrations (ppm range) are relatively low and therefore supportive rather than transformational.
