Ceramide

General Description
Ceramide is the fundamental structural component of the skin barrier (stratum corneum). As a high-performance active ingredient in cosmetic formulations, it is designed for intensive barrier repair and sustained hydration. It is essential for maintaining skin integrity and stability.

Key Mechanisms & Benefits

• Intensive Barrier Repair:
  Precisely targets and fills the intercellular lipid gaps within damaged skin barriers. It reconstructs the stratum corneum to effectively repair dry, red, and sensitive skin conditions. This reinforcement significantly enhances the skin's defense against external aggressors such as UV radiation, environmental pollution, and mechanical friction, thereby reducing erythema and stinging sensations.

• Long-Lasting Moisture Retention:
  Forms a breathable, semi-occlusive film on the skin surface to lock in moisture and significantly reduce Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL). It alleviates symptoms of dehydration, such as scaling, roughness, and tightness, ensuring the skin remains hydrated, plump, and smooth.

• Soothing & Stabilizing Action:
  Mitigates inflammatory responses in sensitive skin and strengthens the basal skin condition. Long-term incorporation enhances the skin's intrinsic immunity and resistance to stressors.

Applications & Compatibility

• Target Skin Types: Ideal for dry, sensitive, and compromised skin barriers.

• Formulation Suitability: Serves as a core functional ingredient for creams, serums, lotions, and repair masks.

• Primary Functions: Barrier Restoration, Deep Hydration, Soothing & Stabilization.
