PURE'AM Authentic Barrier Cream Balm: Registration CU856114 vs. Published Documentation

Brand

PURE'AM

Claim

• REGISTRATION NO: CU856114, 'Certified Organic by CUK' (Control Union Korea) - this identifier is displayed on the Authentic Barrier Cream Balm PDP and is reused identically across other PURE'AM product pages (Super Glow Dew, pH Balance Calming Toner, Authentic Barrier Duo, Gratitude Kit), consistent with it being a site-wide brand/company certification identifier rather than a page unique to this SKU.
• INCI ingredient list (41 named ingredients) including Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Polyglutamic Acid, and organic-marked (*) ingredients such as Glycerin, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Evening Primrose Oil, Sweet Almond Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Rosemary Leaf Extract.
• Vegan, cruelty-free, no artificial fragrance/silicone/GMO claims (retail listing copy).
• Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine each estimated at 0.45%-0.70% concentration (third-party ingredient-percentage estimate, not a certified lab assay).
• Barrier-repair / reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) claim citing a 'P&K Skin Research Center' study after two-week use, described as statistically significant (p<0.05) - this study is cited only on the brand's own PDP and is a manufacturer-commissioned test; no independent or peer-reviewed publication of it was located.

Product

• Authentic Barrier Cream Balm (75ml main, 30ml mini)
• Amino Acid Mild Cleanser (120ml, uncertified - no organic-certification claim appears on this product's PDP or elsewhere in brand materials reviewed)

Evidence items

• Registration number CU856114 with the text 'Certified Organic by CUK' appears verbatim on at least five PURE'AM product pages on pureambeauty.com (Authentic Barrier Cream Balm, Super Glow Dew, pH Balance Calming Toner, Authentic Barrier Duo, Gratitude Kit) - primary-brand-record.
• Control Union has a public 'Search certified companies and products' portal (cucpublications.controlunion.com), and Control Union Korea (CUK) is confirmed as IOAS-accredited to certify under the COSMOS organic/natural cosmetic standard (contract number 137) per controlunion.com and ioas.org - primary-certifier. However, an independent per-product register entry specifically matching CU856114 to the Authentic Barrier Cream Balm was not located in these sources; that specific cross-check is not published outside the brand's own site.
• Full INCI list cross-published on incidecoder.com and skinsort.com - secondary-media ingredient databases, not the manufacturer's regulatory filing.
• Ceramide/phytosphingosine percentage-range estimate sourced from whatsinmyjar.com's ingredient-based formulation analysis - secondary-media, not a certified laboratory assay.
• The P&K Skin Research Center TEWL/barrier-strengthening claim is sourced only to the brand's own PDP (pureambeauty.com/products/authentic-barrier-cream-balm); per editorial rule, manufacturer-run clinical claims are not treated as verified evidence, and no third-party or peer-reviewed publication of this specific study was found.
• Amazon retail listings (30ml and 75ml SKUs) confirm product sizes, vegan/cruelty-free marketing claims, and 'Small Business' seller status - retailer.
• Amino Acid Mild Cleanser (120ml) PDP and related brand listing pages were checked; no certification registration number or organic-certification claim appears for this product in the sources reviewed.
