Ceramides
Common Name(s): Ceramides,ceramide sphingolipid,sc barrier lipid
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Restores sc lamellar lipid bilayers, reduces trans-epidermal water loss, repairs barrier dysfunction in dry and eczematous skin, and strengthens the physical barrier against environmental irritants.
Why It's Used: Provides direct structural barrier lipid replacement โ unlike humectants that attract water, ceramides physically rebuild the lipid bilayer architecture required to retain moisture within the skin.
How It Works: Ceramides integrate into the sc intercellular lamellar bilayer, restoring the ordered orthorhombic packing disrupted in barrier-compromised skin. the sphingosine backbone's amide bond and hydroxyl groups form the h-bonding network that stabilises the lamellar structure.
Typically Found In: Barrier repair,dry skin,eczema-prone
