Actives
Ceramides are an essential part of the cutaneous barrier. With age and external aggression, their quantity diminishes, giving way to problems such as loss of elasticity, dry skin and even the appearance of wrinkles. It is essential to create an external supply for the skin to fill the gaps.
Well-documented in terms of efficacy, the only problem with ceramides is their application. They are virtually insoluble in water, and their very high melting point makes their use extremely complicated. This encapsulation technology is the answer to easy, high-percentage formulation of ceramides.
