Birth of 'CERALUMIA', a new skincare brand focusing on the skin barrier

The retail business "Ainz & Tulpe," developed by Ain Pharmaciez Inc. (Headquarters: Sapporo, Hokkaido / President and CEO: Shoichi Shudo), will launch the original skincare brand "CERALUMIA".

In recent years, the external environment surrounding the skin, such as UV rays, dryness, air pollution, friction, and stress, has become increasingly severe. Along with this, the number of people suffering from sensitive and dry skin has increased, making the decline in skin barrier function a growing concern.

CERALUMIA focuses on "ceramide," which is the key to the skin barrier.
It is a next-generation skincare brand that draws out the skin's inherent power through a unique cerami-care formulation, protecting the skin from external stimuli while retaining moisture.

■ Origin of the Brand Name

"Cera (Ceramide)" + "Lumina (Light, brightness, beauty shining from within)"

We aim for healthy skin that is full of moisture and shines from within.

■ Brand Concept

The coexistence of gentleness and beauty. To skin that is uniquely yours.

■ Product Features

1. Barrier support through cerami-care formulation

Formulated with 3 types of ceramides (Ceramide NP, AP, NG).
By supplementing these important components that make up about 50% of the skin, it prevents moisture evaporation and leads to skin that does not succumb to dryness or irritation.

2. High-moisturizing design through penetration control technology

Formulated with hydrolyzed sodium hyaluronate and C12-13 alkyl glyceryl hydrolyzed hyaluronate*1.
Delivers moisture to the stratum corneum and keeps it there for a long time.

*1 Formulated in the cream and eye cream

3. Pure safe design (5 additive-free features)

Free of preservatives, ethanol, petroleum-based surfactants, mineral oils, and UV absorbers.
A formulation design that is easy for those with sensitive or dry skin to use as part of their daily care.
