Ceramides

Ceramide is a kind of phospholipid with ceramide as the skeleton, mainly including ceramide phosphorylcholine and ceramide phosphoethanolamine. Phospholipid is the main component of cell membrane, and 40%~50% of sebum in the stratum corneum is composed of ceramide , ceramide is a major part of the intercellular matrix and plays an important role in maintaining the water balance of the stratum corneum. Ceramide has a strong ability to associate water molecules, and it maintains skin moisture by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, ceramides have the effect of maintaining skin moisture.
Applications:
1. Moisturizing effect: Ceramide is the main component of lipids in the stratum corneum of the skin, which can help repair the skin barrier and make the skin soft and shiny. But as we age, ceramides gradually decrease, and the skin will become dull and dry without it.
2. Barrier function: enough ceramide in the skin can resist external stimuli, but if it is missing or absent, the skin loses its natural protective function, and has no defense ability against external physical and biological injuries. For example, the skin is more prone to sunburn when exposed to the sun, and it is easier to redden when the weather becomes cold.
3. Anti-allergic effect: This is good news for thin-skinned children's shoes. Ceramide can help thicken the stratum corneum, improve the tolerance of the entire skin, prevent the invasion of harmful substances from the outside, avoid allergies, and repair red blood.
4. In addition, ceramide also has very good anti-aging, auxiliary whitening and anti-oxidation effects.
