A milky infusion of science and softness, Ceramucin is more than a toner, it’s a skin renewing essence that transforms your complexion from the very first layer. Powered by 99% Purity Snail Mucin Extract, this silky formula delivers regenerative hydration that visibly plumps, smooths, and calms the skin. Rice-derived Ceramides fortify the skin’s barrier, locking in moisture and defending against environmental stressors, while Peptides targets fine lines and loss of firmness with clinical precision.

Infused with Niacinamide for brightening and tone refinement, and a quartet of antioxidant-rich botanicals, Rooibos, Ginseng, Green Tea and Licorice, Ceramucin soothes inflammation, neutralizes free radicals, and restores clarity to dull, fatigued skin.

Suitable for all skin types.

100ml

KEY INGREDIENTS

Snail Secretion Filtrate:

A powerhouse regenerative ingredient that helps repair damaged skin, improve hydration levels, support collagen production, and enhance skin smoothness and elasticity.

Multi-Ceramide Complex (Ceramide NP, AP, EOP & Glycosphingolipids):

Essential lipids that rebuild and reinforce the skin barrier, preventing moisture loss while protecting against environmental aggressors. They help restore softness, resilience, and overall skin health.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):

A multi-functional skin enhancer that helps refine pores, improve uneven skin tone, support barrier strength, and boost radiance while reducing visible redness and inflammation.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5):

Deeply soothing and hydrating, panthenol supports skin healing, reduces irritation, and enhances moisture retention for a plumper, healthier complexion.

Advanced Peptide Complex (Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 & Palmitoyl Oligopeptide):

Targets early signs of ageing by supporting collagen production, improving skin firmness, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Allantoin:

A calming skin protectant that promotes gentle skin repair, softens texture, and reduces sensitivity.

Rooibos Extract:

Rich in antioxidants that protect skin from environmental stress and support soothing.

Ginseng Root Extract:

Revitalises and energises tired, dull skin while supporting elasticity.

Green Tea Extract:

Provides powerful antioxidant protection while calming inflammation.

Liquorice Root Extract:

Helps brighten the complexion and improve uneven skin tone while soothing irritation.

HOW TO USE

After cleansing, toning and serum, apply a small amount of Ceramucin Barrier Essence (about a dime-sized amount) to the palm of your hand.

Gently massage or press the essence onto your face and neck using light, circular motions until evenly distributed.

Allow the essence to absorb for about 1 minute before applying your moisturiser. This gives the ceramides and mucin time to fully sink in and support the skin barrier.

Follow with your moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Use twice daily, morning and evening, for best results.

Tip: Apply onto slightly damp skin to enhance absorption and boost hydration.

SENSORY NOTES

The Ceramucin Barrier Essence has a slightly thicker, gel‑cream-like texture that glides smoothly onto the skin, giving a plush, nourishing feel without heaviness. It absorbs beautifully, leaving the complexion soft, hydrated, and subtly supple, with a comforting, protective layer that supports the skin barrier.

Its unique aroma carries a delicate, naturally fresh scent reminiscent of collagen powder, combined with soft botanical notes from rooibos, ginseng, green tea, and licorice. The fragrance is gentle and refined, making each application feel like a luxurious, indulgent ritual.

Snail mucin is rich in proteins, glycoproteins, and amino acids, which can emit a slightly marine or “powdery” protein scent that is reminiscent of collagen supplements or protein powders.
