ONGREDIENTS Deep Calming Cream 50ml

The ONGREDIENTS Deep Calming Cream is a rich, buttery barrier cream formulated primarily for dry, sensitive, or easily irritated skin. Here is a breakdown of its main benefits and how the key ingredients deliver them:

1. Intense Soothing and Wound Healing

• Centella Asiatica Extract: Features a high concentration of Centella (Cica), which is packed with Madecassic Acid. It rapidly calms visible redness, irritation, and inflammation.
• Targeted Relief: It accelerates the healing process of compromised, flaky, or breakout-prone skin, providing quick comfort to tight or stressed complexions.

2. Robust Skin Barrier Restoration

• Ecoceramide Shea Butter: A specialized blend combining nourishing Shea Butter with Ceramide NP. Ceramides act like the "mortar" between skin cells to patch up gaps in a weakened lipid barrier.
• Moisture-Lock Shield: It forms an occlusive layer over the skin, dramatically reducing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) and keeping environmental stressors out.

3. Deep, Long-Lasting Hydration

• Rich Emolliency: Along with glycerin and shea butter, the formula includes Baobab Seed Oil (Adansonia Digitata) and Sea Buckthorn Extract (Hippophae Rhamnoides), which are loaded with essential fatty acids and vitamins (C, E, and K).
• Prolonged Moisture Retention: Brand testing indicates a noticeable boost in skin moisture levels that lasts up to 24 hours, making it highly effective against severe winter dryness or "inner dryness."

4. Clean, Vegan, and Organic Formula

• Clean Ingredients: The formulation is COSMOS-certified organic, utilizing 95% natural and 20% organic ingredients. It features all EWG green-graded components.
• Hypoallergenic & Cruelty-Free: Free from harsh fillers, common irritants, and animal-derived ingredients, making it exceptionally well-tolerated by reactive or rosacea-prone skin.

Texture & Application Notes

• The Feel: It has a distinct "melting butter" texture that is quite thick and rich in the jar but softens smoothly upon contact with body heat.
• Best Use: Because it is heavy and creates a protective coating, it performs beautifully as a night cream to seal in previous routine steps or as a heavy-duty winter moisturizer. It absorbs slowly, so it requires a bit of patting in and is generally too heavy for oily or acne-prone skin types during the day.
