In the world of skin care, we often come across ingredients whose names don't sound simple at all, but behind them are very effective and beneficial formulas for the skin. One such ingredient is acetamidoethoxyethanol. Although its name sounds complex, it is a modern moisturizing super-ingredient that appears more and more often in light but effective formulations for everyday skin care.
Hydration superhero
Acetamidoethoxyethanol is a humectant, which means that its main role is to attract and retain moisture in the skin. What makes this ingredient stand out is its ability to retain moisture for a long time, without creating a heavy or greasy film on the skin. According to some studies, it moisturizes the skin better than the much better-known glycerin or hyaluron. While some moisturizing ingredients can leave the skin feeling sticky or heavy, acetamidoethoxyethanol provides hydration in a light and very comfortable texture. It absorbs quickly and leaves the skin smooth, supple and hydrated. This is why it is especially suitable for all skin types, from dry and dehydrated to combination and oily.
Skin barrier support compound
In addition to increasing hydration levels, acetamidoethoxyethanol also helps strengthen the skin barrier. Hydrated skin is more resistant to external influences, less prone to irritation, and has a slower water loss ( TEWL ). This makes this ingredient an excellent choice for sensitive skin, as well as skin whose barrier has been temporarily disrupted by the use of active ingredients such as acids or retinoids.
This super ingredient is found in Amino Cream B5 , which is designed as a hydrating and soothing product that strengthens the skin barrier without feeling heavy. In addition to acetamidoethoxyethanol, the formulation contains a complex of amino acids that naturally occur in the skin and help maintain optimal moisture levels. Amino acids contribute to skin elasticity and support its natural renewal. The formula also contains sodium PCA, a powerful humectant that is part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor, and panthenol (provitamin B5), known for its soothing and regenerative properties. Panthenol helps reduce the feeling of irritation, supports skin renewal and further contributes to its softness. The entire formulation is complemented by ingredients that strengthen the barrier and help the skin retain moisture, without feeling heavy.
Alternative to cica balms
Due to its light, fast-absorbing texture, Amino Cream B5 is an excellent alternative to classic cica balms. Although such balms are popular for their soothing properties, they are often very thick, greasy and occlusive. Such a texture can be too heavy for daily use, especially for oily, combination or acne-prone skin. An additional advantage of this formula is its simplicity and versatility. The cream does not contain added fragrances or dyes, which makes it suitable for sensitive skin, as well as for use during pregnancy. It is suitable for women and men and fits easily into different routines, even in combination with active ingredients such as acids and retinoids.
