The Science of Ceramides

  1. Rebuilds the lipid matrix to strengthen the skin’s natural barrier
  2. Reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL) for long-lasting hydration
  3. Improves resilience against irritants, pollutants, and aging stressors
  4. Restores suppleness and elasticity for a healthier, more youthful complexion

Types of Ceramides

Ceramides are a diverse family of lipid molecules that work together to maintain the integrity and hydration of the skin barrier. Each type plays a distinct yet complementary role in fortifying, moisturizing, and repairing the skin.

Ceramide NP

A skin-identical lipid that closely mirrors the natural ceramides found in the stratum corneum. It quickly penetrates to rebuild the skin’s protective barrier and bind moisture within the outer layer. By reinforcing cell cohesion and locking in hydration, it helps restore softness, smoothness, and long-term resilience.

Ceramide AP

A multifunctional ceramide that strengthens the skin barrier. Its dual hydrophilic and hydrophobic nature allows it to attract and retain moisture, improving roughness and dryness. It also supports repair in sensitive or compromised skin, helping to calm irritation and restore comfort.

Ceramide EOP

A high-purity, omega-acylceramide essential for the long-term stability of the skin’s barrier structure. It anchors within the lamellar lipid layers to reinforce the long-term stability of the barrier. This unique structure helps protect against environmental damage while keeping skin smooth, supple, and deeply hydrated.

Cross-Sell Opportunities: Bundle the R&R Serum with Peptide Plump Essence Toner and Overnight Glow Hydrating Recovery Cream for a barrier restoring product line.

Ceramides are lipid molecules naturally found in the skin barrier that help retain moisture and protect against environmental stressors.

They fill the gaps between skin cells, sealing in moisture and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

No, there are multiple types (Ceramide NP, AP, EOP, NS, and NG), each mimicking specific lipids found in healthy skin.

They restore barrier integrity, improve hydration, and reduce sensitivity and flakiness.
