Vegetable Ceramides account for about half of the lipids in the outer most layer of the epidermis and lack of enough ceramides in the skin results in dry, dehydrated, irritated and vulnerable skin. By adding ceramides to the skin, the skins barrier is strengthened while preventing reoccurring symptoms, such as trans epidermal water loss.
Environmental factors or conditions like acne and rosacea cause the skin's natural ceramides to be compromised, leading to loss of moisture and allowing irritants to easily penetrate. Ceramides help to increase hydration, reduce inflammation, and reinforce the skin's protective barrier.
