Key actives
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is the entry this cream is named after, and the list carries it.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it twentieth on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Aspergillus Fermentferment
Aspergillus Ferment is a mould ferment, from the same organism family used to make soy sauce and sake. It supplies amino acids and organic acids and is used as a conditioning ferment. The panel names it thirty-second on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extractferment
Extract of rice lees, the solids left after rice wine is pressed. Lees carry yeast residue, amino acids and sugars, so the extract is a ferment rich humectant botanical. The panel names it thirty-seventh on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named thirty-ninth on this cream's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
How to use
- Use it as the last step of a routine (or before a separate night cream at night), sealing in the layers underneath. AM and PM.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Ceramide NP and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Ceramide NP?
Allantoin, Aspergillus Ferment and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tocopherol, Ceramide NS and Phytosphingosine.

How it works
The Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Aspergillus Ferment and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Lees Extract, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ceramide NP stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream Haruharu sells in Korea, Ceramide NP and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Ceramide NP rather than to three changes at once.

Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
