Inside the Formulation
Every RATIONALE Formulation is crafted with the highest quality of ingredients, formulated into three key Complexes.
The Primary Complex
The Secondary Complex
The Research
A perfectly balanced array of specialised bioactive lipids, including ceramides, cholesterol and triglycerides, form a vital component of the skin’s barrier function as part of the Stratum Corneum, the skin’s outermost layer.
As a dynamic, interactive interface between the skin and the outside world, these ‘living lipids’ are also crucial in modulating immune responses and empowering cell-to-cell communication.
Topical treatment with a precise combination and ratio of lipids, vitamins and proteins can alleviate skin sensitivity and dryness by replenishing and stabilising the barrier function of the Stratum Corneum, which diminishes throughout life due to natural ageing and environmental damage.

My jar of #4 The Crème no longer has the flat top when I first open it. Has the formulation changed?
Please be assured that the formulation itself has not changed. This change you’ve noticed in its appearance is due to an update in the production of the formulation. In the simplest terms, #4 The Crème is now ‘cold filled’ instead of ‘hot filled’, like other RATIONALE crèmes, meaning that it does
not cool and settle with the flat top.
My #4 The Crème has more of a ‘whip’ look to it when I open the jar and feels a bit more mousse-like. Has it changed? And it is still ok to use?
Please be assured that the formulation itself has not changed. This change you’ve noticed in its appearance is due to an update in the production of the formulation. In the simplest terms, #4 The Crème is now ‘cold filled’ instead of ‘hot filled’, like other RATIONALE crèmes, meaning that it does
not cool to settle with the flat top. The perceived change in texture may be due to the change in pick-up with the slightly peaked appearance In jar. It’s perfectly fine to use as a wonderful option to nourish skin and help support skin barrier function
and integrity.
Can #4 The Crème be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, this formulation can be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding. If you have any concerns or further questions about using active ingredients in skincare during pregnancy, we always recommend consulting your medical practitioner.
Can #4 The Crème be used during peri-menopause and menopause?

and skin suppleness is restored.
