Formulation Deep Dive

BYOMA Moisturizing Rich Cream is engineered as a barrier-strengthening, water-based emollient cream designed to provide intensive lipid replenishment. The carrier system utilizes a high concentration of Glycerin and Dipropylene Glycol for humectancy, paired with Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter to create a rich, occlusive seal that mimics the skin's natural lipid profile. The formulation's active performance is driven by a biomimetic Tri-Ceramide Complex consisting of Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine, which works synergistically with Bakuchiol to enhance cellular turnover and structural integrity without irritation. The emulsion is stabilized through a robust network of Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, and Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, ensuring a sophisticated rheology while utilizing a preservative system featuring Hydroxyacetophenone and Caprylyl Glycol for broad-spectrum microbial stability.
