Key actives
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named twelfth.
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. The panel names it thirty-sixth on this cream's list, beside Cholesterol.
Tricholoma Matsutake Extractplant extract
Matsutake mushroom extract, the songi prized in Korean cooking. It carries beta-glucans and amino acids and is used as a hydrating, conditioning extract. The panel names it twenty-third on this cream's list, beside Cholesterol.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. The panel names it thirty-first on this cream's list, beside Cholesterol.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it thirty-third on this cream's list, beside Cholesterol.
How to use
- Take an amount about the size of a pea and smooth it evenly over the face and neck as the last step of a routine.
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 Cholesterol and not three changes at once.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Cholesterol?
Ceramide NP, Tricholoma Matsutake Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Cholesterol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Centella Asiatica Extract, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil.

How it works
The Essential Mool Cream Light is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The barrier lipid it is built around is Cholesterol, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Ceramide NP, Tricholoma Matsutake Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Cholesterol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. JUNGSAEMMOOL sells this Cholesterol cream in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Cholesterol on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
