Ceramide III belongs to the Ceramide family of essential structural lipids that make up up to 50% of the skin barrier. These lipids, naturally present in the skin, play a key role in maintaining hydration and protecting against external aggressors.
How It Works
The skin barrier is made up of a lipid layer that acts as a "wall", keeping cells cohesive and preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Ceramides, and particularly Ceramide III, are essential to preserve this structure. When the skin barrier is compromised (due to stress, aging, or aggressive treatments), the skin becomes more prone to dehydration, irritation, and sensitivity. Thanks to its biomimetic structure, Ceramide III integrates seamlessly into the lipid barrier, restoring its function and improving the skin’s ability to retain water.
An Indispensable Support for All Skin Types
Ceramide III is ideal for all skin types, but is particularly effective for:
- Dry and dehydrated skin: helps restore hydration levels.
- Mature skin: counteracts the natural loss of ceramides that occurs with aging.
- Sensitive or stressed skin: supports barrier repair and reduces reactivity.
