The essential edit

Your moisturiser does not need a side hustle.

A moisturiser needs to do three things well: attract water, reduce its escape and support the lipids that organise the outer barrier. UN/03 combines glycerin and betaine with squalane, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone, ceramide NP and cholesterol. The objective is sustained comfort and smoother-feeling skin—not a crowded list of fashionable extracts or an SPF claim hidden inside a moisturiser.

What it does

  • Humectants attract water while emollients soften rough, tight-feeling skin
  • Squalane, dimethicone and caprylic/capric triglyceride help reduce moisture loss without relying on a heavy mineral paste
  • Ceramide NP and cholesterol provide recognisable components of the skin-barrier lipid system
  • Designed to sit comfortably between UN/02 and sunscreen or to finish the evening ritual

What earns its place

  • Glycerin and betaine provide humectant support
  • Squalane and caprylic/capric triglyceride soften and replenish
  • Ceramide NP and cholesterol support barrier lipids
  • Panthenol helps maintain skin comfort

What it leaves out

  • No added fragrance or essential oils, because sensorial perfume does not improve barrier function
  • No zinc oxide or concealed sunscreen claim—UV protection remains the distinct job of UN/04
  • No exfoliating acids or retinoids competing with a daily comfort step
  • No decorative botanical clutter added merely to lengthen the ingredient list

Designed for

  • Daily barrier-supportive moisturising
  • Skin needing comfort without a complicated routine
  • Morning or evening use

Formulation decisions

  • A ceramide-and-squalane-led direction
  • Texture and tolerability are treated as performance criteria
  • A shared airless pack reduces packaging complexity

The un/extra ritual

Four facial steps.
One clear order.

How to use

Use it
with intention.

Apply one to two pumps to face and neck after UN/02 Barrier Serum. Use morning and evening. Follow with UN/04 Daily Sunscreen in the morning.

A useful moisturiser balances water-binding ingredients, emollients and barrier support. The aim is lasting comfort without turning the routine into an active-ingredient competition.
