Ceramide

ceramide powder

 

Natural ceramides in the skin will decrease with age, external stimuli, and bad living habits. When the ceramide content is not enough, it will directly affect the skin barrier function, unable to resist "foreign enemies" and lock in water, resulting in the appearance of problematic skin such as dermatitis, eczema, red blood, sensitive skin, dry skin, and wrinkles.

 

Ceramides have the effect of repairing the skin barrier first, followed by adhesion and moisturizing, as well as anti-aging effects. In terms of efficacy, ceramides live up to the name of "magical powers".

 

What is Ceramide

Ceramides (Cers) exist in all eukaryotic cells and play an important role in regulating cell differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, aging and other life activities. 40%~50% of the sebum in the stratum corneum is composed of ceramides. Ceramides are the main components of lipids between cells in the stratum corneum of the skin. Ceramides have a strong ability to associate with water molecules. It forms a network structure in the stratum corneum. Maintain skin moisture. It has the functions of maintaining skin barrier, moisturizing, anti-aging, whitening and disease treatment.

 

The traditional method of producing ceramide is mainly from animal brain tissue (such as bovine brain), placenta or plant (such as rice bran, wheat germ, soybean, konjac). The content of ceramide in rice bran and wheat is only 0.01 ceramide. -0.02%, while the content of konjac is 0.15-0.2%, which is 9-15 times that of other sources.

 

Microbial fermentation is a common method for preparing ceramide in recent years, that is, using Pichiaciferrii or Saccharomyces cerevisiae to ferment in a certain environment.

Types of Ceramides

---

Ceramide monomer	Ceramide complex 1-EOP	It repairs the sebum film of the skin, reduces the loss of skin moisture, improves the skin's barrier function, and finally brings moisturizing effect to the skin, suitable for all skin types.
	Ceramide complex 2-NG	It can adjust the skin's water-oil balance and enhance the skin's self-protection function. It is suitable for oily and young skin in need.
	Ceramide complex 3-NP	It can rebuild the adhesion of cells, maintain the skin's water saturation, quickly repair dry and damaged skin, and also help the skin's natural protective layer to be renewed, suitable for sensitive skin.
	Ceramide complex 4-EOH	locks water, improves skin keratin and barrier function.
	Ceramide complex 5-AG	protects the skin from external stimuli.
	Ceramide complex 6-AP	Promotes the metabolism of keratin, makes the skin smooth and soft, and can be used on any skin without picking skin.
	Ceramide complex 7-AH	It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects and regulates the balance of normal skin flora.
Ceramide complex	Ceramide NP; Ceramide AP; Ceramide EOP;	Regulates water-oil balance, rebuilds cell adhesion, and promotes keratin metabolism

Function

---

1. Ceramide powder moisturizing effect

Ceramides powder have 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

 

2. Ceramide powder barrier function

Experimental studies show that ceramides play an important role in maintaining skin barrier function

 

3. Ceramide powder adhesion

The level of ceramides powder is directly related to the degree of skin dryness. The use of ceramides can significantly enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes, improve skin dryness and reduce skin desquamation

 

4. Anti-aging effect of ceramide powder

Ceramide powder can improve skin dryness, scaling, roughness and other conditions; at the same time, ceramide can increase the thickness of the epidermis stratum corneum, improve the skin's water-holding capacity, reduce wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and delay skin aging
