Ceramides
Ceramides are lipids known to encourage a firmer, smoother appearance while protecting skin's outermost layer from dehydration. In skin care, Ceramides are highly valued for their ability to boost hydration and are often popular in products formulated for aging, dry, and or sensitive skin.
Ceramides are lipids that are key to optimal skin health. They naturally make up about 50% of our skin’s lipids and form the natural skin barrier.
Ceramides hold the skin barrier together and keep it intact and healthy, so that skin is protected from harmful external elements and skin moisture remains at an optimal level.
Ceramides are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but if you have concerns we recommend always consulting your physician.
