Formulation Deep Dive
Skinfix's Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream is formulated as a high-performance barrier repair cream designed to restore the lipid bilayer and optimize skin hydration. The base utilizes a sophisticated O/W emulsion system comprising Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, enhanced by Jojoba Oil/Macadamia Seed Oil Esters and Squalene to provide a biomimetic emollient profile that mimics healthy skin lipids. The active performance is driven by a synergistic Triple Lipid Complex of Ceramide EOP, Ceramide NP, and Ceramide AP, working alongside Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol to reinforce the skin barrier, while a specialized peptide blend including Oligopeptide-1 and Hexapeptide-11 supports structural protein integrity. The formulation is stabilized through a robust network of Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate, and Xanthan Gum, utilizing a preservation system of Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, and Potassium Sorbate to ensure long-term microbial stability.
