Key Information
What Nykaa E retail limited Says
Product Description:
Ceramides are lipids that are found in skin cells and are part of both the cell membrane and the extracellular lipid matrix in the skin. They are present in a proportion of 30-40 % of your outer skin layer, known as the epidermis. Ceramides are important in keeping your skin moist and also preventing organisms from penetrating into the body. Your skin loses its ceramide level as it ages, making the skin fragile and able to be easily dehydrated. You are bound to get dry skin, and this acts as a breeding ground for rashes and other skin complications. Ceramides are involved with your skin's ability to establish a barrier against pollution and toxins, which are present in the environment. They also have the ability to develop the brain and also keep the cells functioning properly. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that the body makes naturally. It can be found in the fluids that fill the eyes and joints. In most parts of the body, like the joints and organs, it also acts as a shock absorber and a lubricant. When put on the skin, hyaluronic acid is usually safe as long as it is taken in the right amounts. Some possible side effects are, on the other hand, hypersensitivity responses are likely to happen, but they don't happen very often.

Key Ingredients
Ceramide,Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate),Niacinamide,Aloe Vera,Squalane
Ingredients Details
Niacinamide
Common Name(s): Vitamin b3,nicotinamide,pyridine-3-carboxamide
CAS Number: 98-92-0
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces visible pore size, regulates sebum production, fades dark spots, and improves skin texture and tone.
Why It's Used: It is used because it addresses multiple skin concerns at once without irritation, making it suitable for all skin types. it is stable in formulations and pairs well with most other actives.
How It Works: Niacinamide inhibits the transfer of melanosomes (pigment packets) to skin cells, reducing hyperpigmentation. it also stimulates ceramide synthesis to strengthen the skin barrier and reduces inflammation by modulating cytokine activity.
Typically Found In: Serums,moisturizers,toners,cleansers,eye creams,sunscreens,primers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient โ vitamin
Secondary Functions: Barrier repair,brightening,anti-inflammatory
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ10% (typical: 5%; higher concentrations may cause flushing in some individuals)
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ synthetically produced
Halal Status: Yes โ synthetic origin
Source Notes: Commercially produced via synthesis from nicotinic acid or 3-cyanopyridine. no animal-derived sources used in cosmetic-grade niacinamide.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low; concentrations above 10% may cause temporary flushing in sensitive individuals
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: At concentrations >10%, some users experience niacin flush (transient redness/tingling). generally very well-tolerated.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes โ one of the best-tolerated actives for sensitive skin
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Extensively studied and considered very safe. ewg hazard score: 1. no significant systemic toxicity concerns at topical concentrations.
Works Well With: Retinol,peptides,ahas/bhas,hyaluronic acid,ceramides,zinc,vitamin c,spf
Avoid Combining With: High concentrations of vitamin c (ascorbic acid) may theoretically convert to niacin โ use at different times if using pure l-ascorbic acid above 15%
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Niacinamide is a precursor to nad+ and nadp+, coenzymes vital to cellular energy metabolism. its benefits for dna repair and mitochondrial function make it a key ingredient in anti-aging strategies.

Squalane
Common Name(s): Perhydrosqualene,2,6,10,15,19,23-hexamethyltetracosane
CAS Number: 0111-01-03
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides endogenous-skin-identical emolliency with exceptional stability and skin compatibility.
Why It's Used: The most skin-compatible emollient โ chemically identical to human sebum squalene component with outstanding tolerability across all skin types.
How It Works: Fully saturated hydrocarbon with zero oxidation sites provides exceptional stability unlike squalene's 6 double bonds. integrates into stratum corneum lipid bilayers with near-perfect biocompatibility. provides antioxidant protection to formulation via radical quenching.
Typically Found In: Facial oils,serums,non-comedogenic moisturizers,luxury body care
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ emollient
Secondary Functions: Maximum biocompatibility,antioxidant stabilizer,non-comedogenic
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 1%โ100%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Conditional โ plant-derived (sugarcane, olive) preferred; shark liver-derived being phased out
Halal Status: Yes โ plant-derived
Source Notes: Sustainable plant-derived squalane from sugarcane fermentation (amyris) or olive oil fractionation is preferred over shark liver-derived. chemically identical regardless of source.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 โ very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Excellent safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Humectants,ceramides,actives as carrier
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Squalene constitutes approximately 12-15% of human sebum โ the highest proportion of any skin lipid. topical squalane (stable, hydrogenated form) replenishes this abundant endogenous skin lipid. the complete absence of oxidizable double bonds (unlike squalene's 6 double bonds) eliminates the pro-oxidant concerns of natural squalene oxidation.
