At Kibana Japan, we believe that moisturising is not merely an act—it is an act of quiet restoration. Our new moisturiser is built upon two profound ingredients: Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate. Let us explore what they bring to the skin, and how they harmonise with nature’s gentleness and scientific precision to nurture and renew.
The Work of Niacinamide and Peptides
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide is a multifaceted ally. It calms redness, fortifies the skin barrier, improves hydration, refines texture, diminishes the appearance of pores and pigmentation, and bolsters resilience against environmental stressors. Its versatility and tolerance across skin types have earned its place at the centre of modern skincare—restorative yet never intrusive.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate
This peptide, often likened to a gentler alternative to neurotoxin treatments, works by tempering the frequency of facial muscle contractions. In doing so, it softens the formation of dynamic lines—those born of smiles, frowns and frowns turned to laughter lines. Its elegant mechanism allows expression while easing the imprint of time.
Together, they form a duo that addresses both the texture and temperament of the skin—strengthening from within, while softening the visible signs of movement.
The Larger Ritual: How It All Comes Together
Beneath and around these star actives lies a tapestry of thoughtful, complementary ingredients:
-
Pure Hydrators: Glycerin, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, and Pentylene Glycol draw water into the upper layers of the skin, while Sunflower Seed Oil and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride seal in that moisture, leaving skin supple without heaviness.
-
Scientific Botanicals & Stem Cell Extracts: Malus Domestica (Apple Stem Cell Extract) and Fullerenes guard against oxidative stress and support cellular vitality. Meanwhile, Scutellaria Baicalensis, Plantago Major, Artichoke Leaf, Tangerine Peel, and Peony Root Extracts bring anti-inflammatory, brightening, and soothing virtues.
-
Barrier-Enhancers & Calm-inducers: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Lactobacillus/Pear Juice Ferment, and PVP/Xanthan Gum/Phytosteryl Macadamiate fortify the skin’s natural shield, reinforcing resilience while preserving a light, velvety texture.
-
Subtle Finishing Notes: Lecithin, Sorbitan Isostearate, and Polysorbate 20 ensure smooth application, while a touch of Tocopherol (Vitamin E) brings antioxidant support. A delicate fragrance completes the sensorial experience.
These ingredients—scientific, botanical, hydrating, and stabilising—come together to create a moisturiser that is not a trend, but a balanced act of nourishment and renewal.
Why This Formula Deserves Thoughtful Appraisal
-
Niacinamide ensures that your skin remains hydrated, even-toned, calm, and resilient—qualities rarely achieved by a single ingredient.
-
The dipeptide smooths dynamic expression lines—not by suppression, but by gentle modulation.
-
The blend of stem cell extracts and antioxidants provides long-term fortification against environmental and chronological stressors.
-
Emollients and humectants work in concert to nurture your skin without heaviness or clogging, enhancing the texture while reinforcing natural strength.
-
It's a sensory ritual—light to the touch, yet rich in intent; expressive yet soothing.
Final Reflection
This moisturiser is neither a fleeting trend nor an indulgence, but a considered ceremony of care. Here, science and nature meet in quiet accord—each ingredient chosen not for show, but for its meaningful contribution to skin’s health and poise.
At Kibana Japan, we do not simply craft skincare—we offer a ritual of restoration, where every drop is an invitation to calm, polish, and renew.
