SpecKare CMD3 (Ceramide NP)
Ceramides can be defined as the mortar that keeps together the bricks our skin and hair are made of. Therefore, it plays a key role in the skin’s “barrier” function, and it is directly connected to a healthy look of both skin and hair. A clear correlation is proved between the decrease of the ceramide level and aging.
As an ingredient, Ceramide is therefore a fundamental, endogenous component – the perfect ingredient for cosmetic treatments, but hard to solubilize and use in a formula.
The most external skin layer, called the corneal layer, is responsible for protection from external factors such as UV radiation, germs, pollution as well as for preventing trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL). Ceramides, together with cholesterol and fatty acids, are the corneal layer’s main lipid component and help create the so called “lipid barrier” of the skin, a multi-lamellar structure similar to bricks kept together by mortar, that protects the skin and maintains its hydration level. Because of this structural function, a reduction of ceramide content is the direct cause of several skin problems, from aging to psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne.
Ceramides are also fundamental components of the hair, being part both of the scalp, where they perform an anti-microbial and hydration-regulation function, and the cuticle, where they keep together the flakes exactly like mortar with bricks. A reduction of ceramide content in the hair provokes cuticle’s desquamation, hair fragility, loss of beauty, volume, brightness.
