cepoLAB Biogenic Moisturizer

What is this product?

A lightweight lotion built around an exosome ingredient listed first, with humectants and squalane for hydration. It suits anyone wanting a simple, fragrance-free moisturizing step without drying alcohol or added fragrance.

What makes it different?

The first-listed ingredient is Ceriporia Lacerata Exosome, an unusual top-of-the-list choice, with SH-Polypeptide-138 sitting ninth and squalane at number seven. The 16-item list is short and free of added fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohols. Concentrations are undisclosed in the material available, so the strength of the exosome and peptide content cannot be compared to other products.
