Ceramide repairs the stratum corneum

Ceramide is actually a repair agent that can have anti-aging effects. Most of the products on the market now are water-soluble. Long-term use of ceramide can repair skin damaged by the sun and restore its radiance. Many female friends can also use ceramide for moisturizing and anti-aging. Long-term use can reduce wrinkles and repair the stratum corneum. It can be said that ceramide is a very good beauty product.

use

Water-soluble ceramide is used in cosmetics to fully protect the integrity of the dermis, resist internal and external aging invasion, and maintain skin balance.

Main functions:

1. Moisturizing effect

Ceramide has a strong ability to associate water molecules, and it maintains the moisture of the skin by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum.

Ceramide can form a network structure in the stratum corneum of the epidermis to associate water molecules and maintain the moisture of the skin. Therefore, ceramide has a strong moisturizing effect on the skin.

2. Anti-aging effect

During the aging process of the skin, lipid synthesis decreases and the ceramide content in the stratum corneum decreases, resulting in dry, flaking, rough, and dull skin. The use of ceramide can increase the ceramide content in the stratum corneum of the skin, which can improve symptoms such as dryness, flaking, and roughness of the skin. At the same time, ceramide can increase the thickness of the stratum corneum of the skin, improve the skin's water retention capacity, reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.

3. Anti-allergic effect

There are many causes of skin allergies. According to relevant reports, more than 70% of skin allergies are caused by skin care and beauty cosmetics.

Application areas: Ceramide is not only added to cosmetics, but also widely used in functional foods, becoming a hot spot for functional ingredients. By taking ceramide, after being absorbed in the small intestine, it is transferred to the blood and then transported throughout the body, allowing skin cells to be well restored and regenerated. At the same time, it can also enable the body to biosynthesize ceramides.

In addition to its powerful moisturizing and water-locking effects, ceramide also has a good effect on repairing damaged skin and protecting the skin barrier. The process of ceramide repairing the barrier is slightly complicated: when the skin is damaged, the skin loses more water, and at the same time, calcium and potassium ions are also lost, and the pH rises; this causes the cells to react quickly, and the cells release more thin layer bodies into the extracellular matrix and synthesize more sphingosine, thereby increasing the synthesis of ceramide DNA and repairing damaged skin.

Because ceramide has powerful functions of moisturizing, repairing skin barrier and bonding cells, ceramide has certain anti-aging effects, which are manifested in: moisturizing and locking in water to reduce skin dryness, wrinkles, and pigmentation; bonding keratinized cells to enhance skin elasticity and delay aging; repairing the skin barrier, giving strong protection to the skin and maintaining its youthful state.
