Formulation Deep Dive
ILLIYOON Ceramide Ato Concentrate Cream is engineered as a high-performance lamellar emulsion designed for intensive epidermal barrier repair. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated O/W (oil-in-water) matrix where Glycerin and Butylene Glycol provide foundational humectancy, while Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin) and Dimethicone create a non-occlusive, breathable film to prevent trans-epidermal water loss. The active performance is driven by a specialized lipid-replenishment complex featuring Cetyl Hydroxyproline Palmitamide (Ceramide CPP-40), Cholesterol, and Phytosphingosine, which work synergistically to restore the skin’s natural lipid architecture. This is further supported by Madecassoside for anti-inflammatory signaling and Panax Ginseng Root Water for metabolic skin support. The formulation’s structural integrity is maintained by a robust polymer network of Polyacrylate-13 and Acrylates/Ammonium Methacrylate Copolymer, which stabilizes the suspended ceramide capsules (Mannitol) and ensures a consistent rheological profile without a heavy or greasy skin feel.
