Phytosphingosine tells our skin to increase its natural moisturizing factor (NMF). The NMF is responsible for hydration, a strong barrier, and plasticity. Our NMF decreases with age. Increasing NMF leads to more healthy and hydrated skin.

Studies show products formulated with NMF ingredients help strengthen our skin's barrier. Having a healthy skin barrier reduces irritation and increases hydration. Our skin barrier is responsible for having plump and firm skin. It also helps protect our skin against infection, allergies, and inflammation.

Great product but not for oily skin
I've seen this product being recommended for combination skin and being praised by its brightening effects. I thought I should try it but it was a mistake. Shea butter, Beeswax, Rice oil and a full list of other emolients made it impossible for my oily acne skin to handle it. I think the target skin type here is dry/very dry skin. Nonetheless, the consistency is beautiful and very elegant and the few times I used it as a night cream, it had a super brightening power in the next morning. Unfortunately I could not use it regularly and had to recycle it as hand creme.
