Why It Works
Boost Serum is formulated with a high concentration of our proprietary nano-encapsulated natural ceramides. Japan is one of the leading countries in ceramide research, and our formula is designed to deliver ceramides in their most effective form. By preserving the natural lamellar structure, the ceramides remain fresh and are able to penetrate deeply into the skin.
Ceramides naturally present in the skin gradually decrease with age, leading to dryness, irritation, and visible signs of aging.
As a key component of the skin’s moisture retention and barrier function, ceramides play an essential role in maintaining healthy skin. By replenishing ceramides deep within the skin, Boost Serum helps support a firmer, more resilient complexion that is less prone to dryness. In addition, a ceramide-rich stratum corneum allows lotions and serums applied afterward to absorb more easily, helping to extend their benefits.
Natural Ceramide
Our ceramides are pure, naturally derived and not synthetically produced. They are highly compatible with the skin and support multiple essential functions.
Type 1 ceramide (EOP)
Helps strengthen the skin barrier while improving firmness and elasticity.
Type 2 ceramide (NS/NG)
Offers excellent moisture retention and is the most abundant ceramide found in human skin.
Type 3 ceramide (NP)
Supports the skin barrier, improves moisture balance, and helps protect and repair dry skin.
Type 4 and 5 ceramide (EOH / AS / AG)
Help form and maintain the lipid barrier within the stratum corneum.
Type 6 ceramide (AP)
Provides strong hydration support, promotes skin turnover, and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines.
Type 7 ceramide (AH)
Helps regulate cell renewal and supports a balanced skin microbiome.

Proprietary Ceramide Formula
Using advanced technology, we are able to deliver ceramides deep into the skin while preserving their natural lamellar structure, allowing them to perform at their full potential. While many ceramide serums exist, maintaining this lamellar structure during delivery is extremely challenging. Our Boost Serum encapsulates ceramides in specialized capsules, protecting their structure and freshness, and delivering them effectively into the skin without compromising their integrity.
Olive Fruit Oil
Highly compatible with the skin, olive fruit oil helps prevent moisture loss from the stratum corneum while softening the skin. This supports smoother texture and helps reduce the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness. In addition to skincare, it is also widely used as an ingredient in food and pharmaceutical products, and its production in Japan has been increasing in recent years.
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rich in vitamin C, this oil helps reduce oxidation and supports the skin against various concerns. It also provides moisturizing benefits and helps improve the appearance of aging.
Jojoba Seed Oil
With a structure similar to the skin’s natural sebum, jojoba seed oil absorbs easily and blends seamlessly into the skin. It forms a light protective layer on the surface, helping to prevent moisture loss and keep the skin hydrated.

Step 1: Dispense
After cleansing, allow your skin to settle briefly before use. Apply to dry skin and dispense 2–3 pumps into your palm. (For very dry skin, use 3–5 pumps.)
Step 2: Apply
Spread between your palms, then gently smooth over the skin. Layer on areas that feel especially dry. Avoid patting, as it may cause unnecessary irritation.

Replenishing Ceramides
Ceramides are often referred to as the foundation of healthy skin, as they help both retain moisture and protect the skin from external stress. However, the ceramides naturally present in the skin gradually decrease with age. Studies show that by the age of 50, ceramide levels can drop to about half of what they are in your 20s. For this reason, Japan has long focused on developing high-quality ceramides. Our proprietary ceramides are designed to penetrate the skin without losing their natural function, helping to lock in moisture and keep it there. This supports skin that stays hydrated, smooth, and less prone to dryness.
Strengthening the Skin’s Foundation
When the skin lacks ceramides, even the most advanced formulations may not deliver their full benefits. Without enough ceramides, moisture is easily lost, and active ingredients are less able to penetrate effectively, often evaporating before they can fully work. That’s why replenishing ceramides first is key. By filling the stratum corneum with ceramides, you create a well-prepared foundation that helps lotions and serums absorb more effectively. This step is essential for maximizing the benefits of your skincare routine. In addition, our Boost Serum helps support prolonged absorption, allowing the benefits of the products applied afterward to last longer.
