Skin Barrier Architecture
DESCRIPTION
The lipid molecules that hold the skin barrier together — naturally present in healthy skin but depleted by age and environment. 3LAB formulates with Ceramide NP and Ceramide NG.
HOW IT WORKS
Ceramides occupy the spaces between skin cells, sealing in moisture and locking out irritants. 3LAB's "H" Cream uses an SK-Influx V MB ceramide complex; other products incorporate Ceramide NP and NG directly.
THE BARRIER ARCHITECTURE
Roughly half of the lipids in your skin barrier are ceramides. When they decline, hydration and protection decline with them.
KEY BENEFITS
- Reinforces and rebuilds the skin barrier
- Reduces transepidermal water loss
- Supports long-lasting hydration
- Calms sensitivity and visible redness
- Pairs naturally with the skin's existing lipid profile
PROVENANCE
Synthesized to mirror the skin's own lipid structure for seamless integration.

Multi-Form Hydration
DESCRIPTION
A naturally occurring molecule that holds up to 1,000 times its weight in water — formulated by 3LAB in multiple molecular forms for hydration at every depth.
HOW IT WORKS
3LAB uses three complementary forms across its catalog: Sodium Hyaluronate for the surface, Oligo HA for deeper penetration, and Hyaluramine for water binding.
THE MULTI-FORM DIFFERENCE
Most formulations rely on a single molecular weight. 3LAB pairs multiple weights to hydrate the surface and the deeper layers simultaneously.
KEY BENEFITS
- Delivers immediate and long-lasting hydration
- Plumps the look of fine lines through moisture binding
- Smooths and softens skin texture
- Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive
- Pairs synergistically with active treatments
PROVENANCE
Derived through controlled biofermentation for purity, consistency, and dermatological safety.
24-Hour Moisture Reservoir
DESCRIPTION
A potassium-rich extract from Imperata Cylindrica root, designed to deliver sustained hydration and help skin feel comfortably moisturized for up to 24 hours.
HOW IT WORKS
Helps bind and retain moisture, then supports a gradual release over time—creating a reservoir effect rather than short-lived surface hydration.
THE 24-HOUR PROMISE
Designed for continuous hydration throughout the day and night from a single application.
KEY BENEFITS
- Helps provide up to 24-hour hydration
- Creates a moisture-reservoir effect
- Supports moisture retention and comfort
- Helps maintain a smooth, supple feel
PROVENANCE
Derived from Imperata Cylindrica, a resilient Japanese grass known for thriving in arid conditions.

Moisture-Binding Technology
DESCRIPTION
A biomimetic hydrator (Saccharide Isomerate) designed to deliver deep, long-lasting moisture—creating a hydration reservoir that helps skin stay comfortable for up to 72 hours.
HOW IT WORKS
Its skin-mimicking carbohydrate structure binds to the stratum corneum to attract and hold water—supporting long-lasting hydration, even through cleansing.
THE BINDING DIFFERENCE
Many hydrators sit on the surface and fade. Pentavitin is designed to bind to the outer skin layer for more persistent moisture support.
KEY BENEFITS
- Helps provide up to 72-hour moisture retention
- Moisture-binding action for sustained hydration
- Helps support barrier function and comfort
- Designed to perform in both leave-on and rinse-off formulas
- Biomimetic hydration that feels natural on skin
PROVENANCE
Plant-derived Saccharide Isomerate engineered to mirror skin’s carbohydrate complex—clinically evaluated for long-lasting hydration support.

Biomimetic Lipid Hydration
DESCRIPTION
A stable lipid that closely mirrors the skin's own sebum — formulated by 3LAB to deliver weightless hydration and unmatched compatibility with every skin type.
HOW IT WORKS
Squalane integrates seamlessly with the skin's natural oils to soften, condition, and protect against moisture loss. Unlike heavier oils, it absorbs without residue.
THE BIOMIMETIC OIL
Squalane is closer in molecular structure to human sebum than nearly any other plant-derived lipid — which is why it absorbs without ever feeling occlusive.
KEY BENEFITS
- Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration
- Supports the skin's natural lipid balance
- Softens and conditions without clogging pores
- Suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive
- Enhances the spreadability of formulations
PROVENANCE
Hydrogenated for stability and dermatological compatibility.
