Formulation Deep Dive
The Cyklar Ceramide Milky Essence is a high-performance, water-based barrier repair serum designed to provide intense full-body hydration through a biomimetic lipid delivery system. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated ratio of Glycerin and Propanediol for initial humectancy, paired with Isopropyl Myristate and Ethylhexyl Olivate (Olive-derived emollient) to create a lightweight, rapid-absorbing milky texture that mimics the skin's natural lipid profile. Active performance is driven by a synergistic five-part ceramide complex (NP, AS, NS, EOP, AP) and Hydrogenated Lecithin to fortify the stratum corneum, while Polyglutamic Acid and Sodium PCA work in tandem with a comprehensive amino acid profile (including Serine, Alanine, and Arginine) to optimize the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). The formulation is stabilized by an Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer network, which ensures a smooth, non-tacky finish, and is preserved using a clean-label system featuring Phenoxyethanol and Hydroxyacetophenone.
