Ceramide Vegetable Extract

Choose Size

Ceramides are a class of fatty acids called lipids. They’re naturally found in skin cells and make up about 50% of the outer layer of skin (epidermis).

These benefits have anti-aging effects. Fine lines and wrinkles are often more noticeable when skin is dry. Locking in moisture may minimize their appearance.

A skin-identical lipid concentrate for enhanced skin moisturization and protection depending on the type of skin and desired effect.  

Ceramide is used with concentrations varying from 1 to 15 %. However, for typical applications such as aging and dry skin a dosage level of 3 - 5 % is recommended. Add to the aqueous phase of your formulation at below 80C.

In emulsions should be added to the water phase before the homogenization step. Adding to an existing recipe of an O/W emulsion drops the viscosity significantly.

The reason for this is a rearrangement of the liquid crystalline structures. But the emulsion is not necessarily less stable in spite of the lower viscosity. To increase the viscosity it is suggested to increase the amount of consistency enhancer, e. g. the amount of  cetyl alcohol, stearic acid or brassica alcohol. 

Since it contains an anionic surfactant as a liposome builder cationic emulsifier systems should be avoided due to possible interactions.
