Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38
One of the key age-supportive peptides within CeraPep Balm.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38 is the peptide associated with Matrixyl® Synthe'6®, a cosmetic peptide technology developed for wrinkle and firmness support.
The ingredient supplier positions the peptide around supporting structural skin components associated with visible smoothness and wrinkle improvement.
For Chris & Alley, the clearest customer-facing benefit is:
Helps support firmer, smoother-looking skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
A cosmetic peptide widely known as Argireline.
It is commonly incorporated into age-supportive formulations targeting the visible appearance of expression-related lines, particularly around areas prone to repeated facial movement.
Tetrapeptide-30
A cosmetic peptide included within the balm's broader conditioning and complexion-support system.
Rather than overcomplicating its biological mechanism, I would position it as complementary peptide support for overall skin quality and a more refined-looking complexion.
Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate / HPR
An advanced Vitamin A derivative and genuine cosmetic retinoid.
HPR supports:
Skin renewal + smoother texture + visible fine-line improvement + more even-looking skin.
This is important because CeraPep should not be described purely as a passive barrier moisturiser.
It contains an active retinoid treatment component.
Ceramide 2
A barrier-supporting lipid included to help reinforce the skin's natural moisture-retention system.
Ceramides are important components of the outer skin barrier and help support:
Moisture retention + barrier resilience + skin comfort.
Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
A cross-linked form of Hyaluronic Acid designed to provide prolonged moisture-binding support.
It helps maintain hydration and supports a smoother, plumper-looking complexion.
Squalane
A lightweight, skin-compatible emollient that helps soften the skin and support the lipid barrier without a heavy greasy feel.
Jojoba Seed Oil
A wax-like botanical emollient that helps condition the skin and support moisture retention.
Cocoa Butter
A richer lipid ingredient that helps soften, nourish and reduce moisture loss.
Hydrolysed Manihot Esculenta Tuber Extract
Hydrolysed Cassava Root Extract provides film-forming and smoothing support.
It is commonly incorporated into firming formulations to provide a more immediate tightened and refined skin feel.
Bulbine Frutescens
A South African botanical included for complementary soothing and skin-conditioning support.

After cleansing and applying your treatment serums, apply CeraPep Balm to the:
Face + Neck + Décolletage
Massage gently into the skin using the fingertips.
Avoid the eye area.
