Cutissential™ 18-MEA 40

Cutissential™ 18-MEA 40 is a lipid-based active that mimics the natural composition of the skin’s outermost layer, helping to restore and maintain the skin’s barrier function. It replenishes 18-MEA (18-Methyl Eicosanoic Acid), a key lipid that is essential for skin hydration and protection. This ingredient provides long-lasting moisturization, strengthens the skin's natural defenses, and promotes smoother, healthier skin, making it ideal for barrier repair and hydration-focused skincare products.
