Epicutis Cleansing Essentials Set

Epicutis Hyvia Crème

The Epicutis Hyvia Crème is far more than a conventional moisturiser — it is an advanced treatment cream that marries the very best of biotechnology with responsibly sourced, efficacy-proven botanicals. Developed by Dr. Jeffry Stock’s team of scientists at Princeton University, this formulation was engineered from the ground up to address the most fundamental and clinically important aspect of skin health: the barrier.

At its core is HYVIA® — a patented, biotech-enhanced chia seed oil derived from organic, non-GMO chia. Which delivers an instant rush of deep hydration whilst actively blocking blue light damage, preserving collagen, and maintaining microbiome balance at the skin surface. DSD (Disodium S-Phytyl Diglycoloylcysteine) shields the skin from UV and oxidative damage. While Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract provides a natural muscle-relaxing, anti-wrinkle effect. Together, these proprietary actives deliver a clinical-grade moisturisation and protection experience in a texture that absorbs beautifully without clogging pores or leaving residue.

Clinically proven to maintain full skin hydration for 48 hours after a single application, Hyvia Crème is an essential final step in any skincare routine — morning and night. It is particularly beneficial for dry, sensitive, post-procedure, acne-prone, and ageing skin types.

Key Ingredients

HYVIA® (Salvia Hispanica / Chia Seed Oil — Patented): Epicutis’ signature patented ingredient. This biotech-enhanced chia seed oil provides exceptional deep hydration, blocks blue light damage, protects collagen, supports the skin’s microbiome, and delivers antioxidant defence — all simultaneously.

DSD (Disodium S-Phytyl Diglycoloylcysteine): Epicutis’ proprietary antioxidant-lipid complex that shields the skin from UV radiation and oxidative stress. Reducing the inflammatory cascade that accelerates skin ageing.

Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that directly replenishes the skin’s natural ceramide levels, restoring the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum, strengthening the skin barrier, locking in moisture, and calming irritation — especially beneficial for dry, sensitive, or compromised skin.

Ferulic Acid: A plant-derived antioxidant (found naturally in rice bran, oats, and fruit) that protects against free radicals and UV-induced oxidative damage. It brightens skin by inhibiting melanogenesis, and preserves collagen and elastin integrity.

Spilanthes Acmella Flower Extract: A natural, plant-derived alternative to injectable neuromodulators, known for its ability to gently relax facial muscle contractions and reduce the appearance of expression lines.

Shea Butter & Meadowfoam Seed Oil: Rich, barrier-nourishing emollients that help the skin absorb and retain key nutrients and antioxidants, providing a plump, dewy finish.

Phytosterols & Evening Primrose Seed Extract: Plant-derived lipids and antioxidants that mimic cholesterol’s barrier-strengthening function, reducing inflammation and locking in moisture.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Powerful fat-soluble antioxidant that protects skin cell membranes from oxidative damage and supports the regeneration of Vitamin C.
