Nourishing Ceramide Moisturizer

If your skin feels tight, rough or flaky by midday, especially in winter, your moisturizer may be adding water without helping your skin hold on to it. Foxtale's Nourishing Ceramide Moisturizer is a lightweight ceramide moisturizer for dry skin that hydrates and supports the skin barrier together.

Powered by a 5-Ceramide Complex with Cholesterol, Niacinamide, Kokum Butter and Hyaluronic Acid, it keeps skin moisturised for up to 120 hours*. It absorbs quickly with a non-greasy finish, so it suits all skin types, especially sensitive and winter-dry skin.

Foxtale's Nourishing Ceramide Moisturizer doesn't rely on ingredient percentages alone. Its hydration and barrier claims are backed by instrumental measurements (Corneometer, Tewameter and tape stripping) and a consumer self-evaluation study on 32 volunteers.

Most moisturizers hydrate only the surface of the skin. In the tape-stripping test, thin layers of the skin's outer surface are removed one by one with tape, and moisture is measured again after each round. Even after 10 strips, skin moisturisation stayed 69.63% higher within 30 minutes. That shows the hydration reaches beyond the topmost layer.

Yes. It is formulated for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, and is dermatologically tested. Its 5-Ceramide Complex mirrors the lipids found naturally in the skin barrier, while Panthenol (Provitamin B5) and Betaine add comfort.

In the 32-volunteer study, users reported no itching, irritation or burning sensation. It contains an allergen-free fragrance, so we recommend a patch test if your skin reacts easily.

Why Does Dry Skin Need Barrier Repair in Winter?
Dry skin has fewer of the natural lipids, like ceramides, that hold skin cells together and keep water in. In winter, cold winds, low humidity, indoor heating and hot showers pull more water out through those gaps. That leads to tightness, flaking and rough patches.

A moisturizer for dry skin in winter needs to do two jobs: add water with humectants and refill the barrier with ceramides, so the water stays in.

Evaluated through:

• Instrumental Evaluation (Corneometer, Tewameter, Tape Stripping)
• Consumer Self-Evaluation

Measured:

• Skin moisturisation
• Skin barrier function (transepidermal water loss)
• Multi-layer hydration
• Texture, fragrance and absorption
• Skin tolerance (itching, irritation, burning)

What Makes This Different from a Regular Moisturizer?

Most moisturizers either add water or seal it in. Foxtale's Nourishing Ceramide Moisturizer combines:

• A 5-Ceramide Complex (Ceramide EOP, NG, NP, AS, AP) with Cholesterol to restore barrier lipids.
• Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), Glycerin and Saccharide Isomerate to draw in and hold water.
• Niacinamide to support an even-looking tone and texture.
• Kokum Butter to nourish and soften without clogging pores.

Together, these ingredients make it a moisturizer for dry skin that hydrates, strengthens and softens in one lightweight step.

Why 5 Ceramides?

The skin barrier contains several types of ceramides, each with a different role. Using five types with Cholesterol mirrors the barrier's natural lipid mix more closely than a single ceramide. This helps reduce water loss and keeps skin soft for longer.

Why Is Niacinamide Added?

Niacinamide supports a more even-looking tone and smoother texture, so the moisturizer helps dry skin that also looks dull.

Why Is Kokum Butter Included?

Kokum Butter (Garcinia Indica Seed Butter) is a light, nourishing butter that softens rough skin. It gives the richness dry skin needs without a greasy feel.

Why Is Hyaluronic Acid Included?

Hyaluronic Acid attracts and retains moisture at multiple skin layers, helping revive dull, tired-looking skin.

1. Cleanse: wash with the Hydrating Face Wash and leave skin slightly damp.
2. Treat: apply your serum, such as the Vitamin C Serum.
3. Moisturise: massage a coin-sized amount of the Nourishing Ceramide Moisturizer into the face and neck.
4. Protect: in the morning, finish with the Dewy Finish Sunscreen SPF 50 PA++++ for dry skin.

Use daily, morning and night. As a light face cream for dry skin, it also works as a night cream for dry skin. Note: we recommend doing a patch test before use.
