Dr.G
Dr.G Dermoisture Barrier.D Daily Lotion 200ml
Two hundred millilitres, made to be used generously.
Squalane fourth, Ceramide NP twelfth, cholesterol further down — the barrier set, in a body-sized bottle.
Light lotion, and no grease.
What this lotion does
A 200 ml daily lotion carrying Squalane, Ceramide NP and Cholesterol with three plant unsaponifiables and Glyceryl Glucoside, formulated as an everyday barrier moisturiser for dry and easily irritated skin.
Unsaponifiables are the interesting part
Olive, soybean and wheat germ oils each appear here not as the whole oil but as unsaponifiables — the small fraction left when the fatty acids are removed. That fraction is where the sterols, tocopherols and squalene concentrate. Using three of them together, alongside Squalane and Cholesterol, is a lipid strategy rather than a marketing line, and it is the reason the lotion sinks in without the heaviness a comparable cream would have.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Squalane
- Saturated hydrocarbon, hydrogenated squalene. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own.
- Cholesterol
- Sterol. One of the three lipid classes skin's outer layer is built from — ceramides and fatty acids are the other two, and they work as a set rather than alone.
- 7-Dehydrocholesterol
- Cholesterol precursor, provitamin D3.
- Olea Europaea (Olive) Oil Unsaponifiables
- Sterol-rich fraction of olive oil. Softens by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil Unsaponifiables
- Sterol-rich fraction of soybean oil. Softens by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Germ Oil Unsaponifiables
- Sterol-rich fraction of wheat germ oil. Softens by filling the gaps between surface cells.
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Glucoside of glycerin, from resurrection plants. Used to pull in water and hold it.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it.
- Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide
- Polysaccharide from snow fungus. Pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Stable vitamin C salt. Used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Pollen Extract
- Extract of pollen.
How the formula works together
The lipid side and the water side are both built out properly. Lipids: Squalane, Hydrogenated Polydecene, Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, three unsaponifiables, Palmitic, Myristic and Stearic acids, and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride. Water side: Glyceryl Glucoside, Sodium Hyaluronate, Tremella polysaccharide, and the Xylitylglucoside–Anhydroxylitol–Xylitol trio, which is a documented moisture complex rather than three separate sugar entries.
The emulsifiers are olive- and glycerin-derived — Cetearyl Olivate with Sorbitan Olivate, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate and Oleate — rather than the usual PEG set. Silica keeps the finish matte enough for daytime.
Fifty ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil.
