No more dry skin

The skin’s natural hydration system is called the Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF). RINGANA research explains why the NMF is so important and how you can support it with the right care – for plump, radiant skin.

What exactly is the Natural Moisturizing Factor?

Our skin can form a protective layer – the NMF – made up of amino acids, sugars, lactic acid, and urea. This ensures moisture is retained in the skin. This protective film keeps the skin elastic and strengthens its barrier function. Additionally, the NMF regulates enzymes responsible for the skin’s natural exfoliation, promoting natural skin regeneration.

Why can dry skin become a problem?

Dry skin is less resilient than normal, well-hydrated skin, which can lead to various issues: itching, burning, tightness, and redness. In severe cases, open, cracked skin can develop, which may become inflamed.

How is the skin’s moisture content regulated?

The NMF plays a crucial role in transepidermal water loss (TEWL – Trans Epidermal Water Loss).
This value describes how much and how quickly moisture is lost through diffusion across the dermis, the middle of the skin’s three layers. When the skin barrier is weakened, more water is lost to the environment, leading to dryness. You can measure your personal TEWL value with a dermatologist.

What can be done to prevent moisture loss?

To optimally support your skin, use care products that:
Provide hydration: Ingredients like hyaluronic acid help the skin retain more water
Strengthen the skin barrier: Ceramides, plant oils, and fats help maintain and regenerate the skin’s protective function.

Product recommendations for a strong NMF:

Our FRESH hydro serum is a powerful thirst-quencher for your skin. It deeply hydrates dry skin, reaching every layer and storing moisture long-term thanks to a peptide mix. This mix of acacia, carnosine, and oligopeptide- strengthens the natural skin barrier and revitalizes the skin.

The FRESH anti wrinkle serum is an innovative care product for mature skin. Four anti-wrinkle peptides reduce wrinkles and promote collagen production, while willowherb extract stimulates cell regeneration and counteracts skin aging. Triple hyaluronic acid provides hydration and plumps the skin. Paracress delivers an immediate tightening effect, and olive sprout stem cell extract revitalizes the cells.

Our FRESH cream rich is specially developed for dry skin, providing intensive care and long-lasting hydration. The included 2.5% encapsulated ceramide complex strengthens the skin barrier – for sustained hydration, reduced irritation, and protection against pollutants. With 12% Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), the cream enhances moisture retention and effectively prevents dryness.
Nine plant oils, as well as cupuacu and shea butter, ensure the skin remains smooth and doesn’t dry out. The result: resilient, nourished skin with a soft, comfortable feel – all day long.

Conclusion: Care for a strong NMF

The NMF is essential for keeping the skin hydrated, elastic, and resilient. With the right care – from serums like FRESH hydro serum to the rich FRESH cream rich – you can strengthen the skin barrier, retain moisture, and protect your skin optimally.
