What is Ceramides?
Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed ofsphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer. Contrary to previous assumptions that ceramides and other sphingolipids found in cell membrane were purely structural elements, ceramide can participate in a variety of cellular signaling: Examples include regulating differentiation, proliferation, and programmed cell death (PCD) of cells.
The word ceramide comes from the Latin cera (wax) and amide. Ceramide is a component of vernix caseosa, the waxy or cheese-like white substance found coating the skin of newborn human infants.
Main Function:
Moisturizing effects
Ceramide has a strong ability of association of water molecules, it is to maintain the moisture of the skin through the mesh structure formed in the stratum corneum.
Ceramide can form a network structure in the stratum corneum water molecules in association to maintain skin moisture. Therefore, ceramide skin has a strong moisturizing effect.
Anti-aging effects
Skin aging process, lipid synthesis decreased ceramide content in the stratum corneum decrease the performance of dry skin, scaling, rough and dull; Make use of ceramide in the stratum corneum ceramide levels increased, dry skin can be improved, scaling, roughness and other symptoms; Meanwhile, ceramide can increase the thickness of the stratum corneum, improve water-holding capacity of the skin, reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, delay skin aging.
Anti-allergic effects
Cause of skin allergies are manifold. According to official reports, by the skin allergy skin care and beauty cosmetics caused more than 70%.
