๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tip

A critical component in clinical barrier-repair creams.

Ceramide Bright Intense Serum
Aiken
Ceramide Bright Intense Serum
Serum

A brilliant, dual-action recovery serum. It masterfully breaks away from standard single-focus serum loops by embedding a premium 5-Ceramide repair complex (NP, AP, EOP, NS, AS) alongside stable Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Glucoside) and high-percentage Niacinamide. It targets dark spots and hyperpigmentation while simultaneously filling in the microscopic cracks in the lipid matrix, making it the perfect treatment fluid for clearing acne marks on sensitive or easily irritated barrier architectures.

The Raw.
Intensive Ceramides Moisturiser
Moisturizer

The ultimate heavy-duty rescue cream. By combining Macadamia Oil, Shea Butter, Squalane, and a full 5-Ceramide complex, this cream acts as an absolute physical shield against extreme dryness and transepidermal water loss. It replaces the natural sebum that dry skin fails to produce. It is incredibly thick and buttery, making it a perfect night treatment for peeling skin, but far too heavy and occlusive for oily or acne-prone profiles.

Hydrating Ceramides Cleanser
The Raw.
Hydrating Ceramides Cleanser
Cleanser

A superb non-foaming, lotion-to-milk cleanser that entirely respects the skin barrier. Bypassing heavy alkaline foaming agents and harsh sulfates, it utilizes mild Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate and fatty alcohols to lift daily grime softly. The inclusion of Squalane and 5 different Ceramides ensures the skin is actively conditioned during the wash. It leaves zero squeaky feeling, making it the ultimate safe haven for eczema-prone or retinol-burned skin profiles.

Roughness & Bumpy Ceramides Cleanser
The Raw.
Roughness & Bumpy Ceramides Cleanser
Cleanser

A phenomenal lotion-style cleanser that introduces Salicylic Acid in a highly moisturizing base. Because it does not foam and is loaded with Squalane and Ceramides, the BHA can dissolve keratin plugs without stripping the skin of its essential lipids. It is specifically built for conditions like Keratosis Pilaris (strawberry legs) and facial texture. The lack of lather might feel strange at first, but it guarantees that the active acid works without causing contact dermatitis safely.

Aiken
Ceramide Bright Moisturiser
Moisturizer

A highly sophisticated brightening repair cream. It masterfully combines a massive 5-Ceramide complex with Squalane and Niacinamide to structurally patch micro-tears in the lipid matrix. The inclusion of Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate, an elite oil-soluble Vitamin C derivative, ensures deep tissue brightening without the low-pH irritation associated with pure L-Ascorbic Acid.
