The Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream is an elevated moisturizer that focuses on both nourishment and structural integrity. The signature ingredient, Fermented Black Rice, is known for containing exceptionally high levels of antioxidants (Polyphenols and Flavonoids) which help combat free radicals and signs of premature aging. Haruharu's patented Ultrasome Technology ensures these fermented nutrients are delivered deeply into the skin.
This formula is dramatically enhanced by the 5-Ceramide Complex, a blend of five different types of ceramides (key lipids naturally found in the skin). These ceramides integrate into the skin's lipid barrier, sealing the gaps caused by damage or dryness. This action prevents Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL), providing intense, long-lasting hydration and significantly reducing sensitivity. The cream has a thick yet smooth texture that melts into the skin, instantly comforting dryness without feeling suffocating.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this cream too heavy for oily skin?
A: While it is a rich barrier cream, it is best suited for dry and normal skin types. Those with oily skin may prefer a lighter lotion from the Black Rice line, but this cream is excellent for winter use or targeted dry patches.
Q: What is the benefit of the Fermented Black Rice?
A: Fermentation breaks down the complex antioxidant compounds (polyphenols and flavonoids) in the Black Rice, making them smaller and easier for the skin to absorb, boosting its anti-aging and revitalizing effects.
Q: Is this product vegan?
A: Yes, Haruharu Wonder is a vegan and cruelty-free brand.
