Niacinamide is a well known ingredient for supporting the look of an even, refined skin texture, and ceramides help support the skin's moisture barrier, which is a sensible pairing in a foaming cleanser meant not to dry out skin. The soap free, oil free base is consistent with a formula built for sensitive skin that still wants a proper clean.
