Ceramides are key ingredients in moisturisers, especially those designed to regenerate and protect the skin. That’s why ceramides are found in our intensively regenerating Simply More Rich Face Cream. Here’s how ceramides work in creams:
-
Skin Barrier Rebuilding : Ceramides are natural lipids that make up about 50% of the outer layer of the skin (stratum corneum). They act as a "cement" in the skin cell wall, filling the spaces between epidermal cells. This helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier, preventing water loss and protecting against harmful external factors, such as bacteria and pollution.
-
Skin hydration : Because ceramides help maintain the integrity of the skin barrier, they minimize water loss through the skin. This means the skin stays better hydrated and more supple. This is especially important for those with dry skin or skin conditions like eczema.
-
Protection against irritations : Skin with a damaged lipid barrier is more susceptible to irritation, inflammation and infection. Ceramides help rebuild this barrier, which reduces the risk of irritation and allows the skin to regenerate more effectively.
-
Anti-Aging : As we age, ceramide levels in the skin naturally decline, leading to dryness, loss of elasticity and wrinkling. Regular use of creams with ceramides can help maintain a youthful appearance by delaying the appearance of signs of aging.
The role of ceramides in the skin is invaluable. It is a beneficial ingredient for all skin types, especially for those that are demanding, such as dry or problematic skin. Ceramides are particularly valuable in products designed for the care of dry, atopic or eczema skin. They help rebuild the skin's natural lipid barrier, which is key in treating these conditions.
In summary, ceramides are an extremely important ingredient in creams that help protect and regenerate the skin, keeping it moisturized, elastic and resistant to external factors. An excellent source of ceramides is the ceramide cream Simply More Rich Face Cream .
