Will it be the next strong beauty ingredient?
Since hyaluronic acid has officially become a new food material, a large number of new applications of hyaluronic acid, which are mainly "moisturizing and hydrating", have emerged one after another, and they have surpassed collagen to become the hottest raw material in the domestic oral beauty industry. However, in Japan, a major country of oral beauty food, although the most popular oral beauty ingredient in the first half of this year also has the function of hydrating and moisturizing, it is not the hyaluronic acid, but ceramide.
Ceramide, also known as Sphingolipid, is a type of sphingosine lipid composed of sphingosine long-chain bases and fatty acids. The molecule is composed of a sphingosine molecule and a fatty acid molecule. Belongs to a large family of lipids.
The main effects of ceramide on the skin are:
1. Hydrating
Ceramide is the most important and highest proportion of the lipids in the stratum corneum. It can tightly maintain the lipid structure and maintain integrity. Since it is derived from the skin, ceramide can easily penetrate into the skin and combine with the moisture in the stratum corneum to form a network structure that can firmly lock the skin's moisture.
2. Fighting against skin aging
During the aging process of the skin, the lipid synthesis ability decreases, and the content of ceramide in the stratum corneum decreases, resulting in rough skin, wrinkles and loss of luster. Ceramide can improve these conditions, increase the thickness of the skin stratum corneum, and increase the water-holding capacity of the skin. Reduce wrinkles, increase skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.
3. Forming a natural barrier
Ceramide can help to form an epidermal barrier, not only to maintain water retention, but also to resist external damage, such as ultraviolet rays and chemicals in the sun, and reduce the formation of freckle.
4. Reducing desquamation
Ceramide can enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes and stick them together, thereby reducing dryness and desquamation.
With age, the human body's ceramide will gradually be lost, and the gaps between cells will become larger. External irritants and foreign bodies can easily invade the skin and cause inflammation and allergies, which can lead to many skin problems, such as Dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, sensitive skin, dry skin, etc. These skins have significantly lower ceramide content than normal skin, so additional supplements are needed.
