Maltese Cross Pattern
What is a Maltese Cross Pattern?
Moisturizers that mimic the skin's natural barrier show a pattern in the shape of a "Maltese Cross" when viewed under a cross-polarized microscope.
When we put Zerafite under the microscope, we saw the highest amount of Maltese Cross Patterns present. This means that Zerafite has the exact ratio of cholesterol, ceramides, and fatty acids necessary for your skin to thrive.
These three lipids are naturally produced by the skin barrier. They bind together to make this pattern and match your skin barrier, which is why Zerafite is more effective at supporting long lasting skin hydration.
