What is a ceramide?
Ceramides are a type of lipid molecule that are found in
high concentrations in the outermost layer of the skin.
They are a crucial component of the skin barrier, playing
a vital role in maintaining the skin's natural moisture
balance and protecting it from external stressors.

The stratum corneum (outer most layer) is composed of
layers of flat dead skin cells, called corneocytes, that are
surrounded by a lipid matrix made up of ceramides,
cholesterol, and fatty acids. This lipid matrix acts as a
barrier between the skin and the outside environment,
preventing moisture loss and protecting the skin from
external stressors like pollution, UV radiation, and
pathogens.

What are they improving in the skin?
Ceramides help to improve overall hydration, enhance
barrier function, reduce inflammation working on skin
conditions such as eczema and psoriasis swell as
boosting collagen production. You will find ceremides in
our formulations to ensure that we are always working
on skin barrier function. A healthy skin starts with a
healthy skin barrier.
