Ceramide is a class of amide compounds formed by dehydration of long-chain fatty acids and amino groups of sphingosine, mainly including ceramide phosphocholine and ceramide phosphoethanolamine. Phospholipids are the main components of cell membranes, and 40 in stratum corneum. %~50% of sebum is composed of ceramides, which are the main part of the intercellular matrix and play an important role in maintaining the moisture balance of the stratum corneum. Ceramides have a strong ability to associate with water molecules and maintain skin moisture by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, ceramides have the effect of maintaining skin moisture.

Barrier effect
Experimental studies have shown that ceramides play an important role in maintaining skin barrier function.
Adhesion
Experimental studies have shown that the level of ceramides is directly related to the degree of skin dryness. The use of ceramides can significantly enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes, improve skin dryness, and reduce skin desquamation.
Moisturizing effect
Ceramides have a strong ability to associate water molecules, and it maintains skin moisture by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, ceramides have the effect of maintaining skin moisture.
Anti-aging effect
Ceramide can improve skin dryness, scaling, roughness and other conditions; at the same time, ceramide can increase the thickness of the epidermis stratum corneum, improve the skin's water-holding capacity, reduce wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and delay skin aging.
Cell function
Experimental studies have shown that ceramides have cell functions such as regulating cell growth variation and inducing cell apoptosis.
Daily chemical
The use of revitalizing essence cosmetics containing neurophthalamide can strengthen the skin's anti-aging function, keep the skin elastic, smooth and delicate, and reduce the formation of facial wrinkles.
Medical
Ceramide plays an important messenger role in the biological effects induced by a variety of cytokines, vitamin D3, Fas and CD28 ligands, and its role in mediating apoptosis has attracted increasing attention; at the same time, ceramide is also involved in various physiological and pathological processes such as cell differentiation. process. Ceramide induces apoptosis in epidermal keratinocyte culture. Ceramides are the decomposition products of sphingomyelin in the bilayer of biological membranes, and are recognized as second messengers. Ceramides play a broad and important role in the process of cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and injury.
Food industry
Many health foods have been developed using some physiological functions of ceramide, such as inhibiting blood pressure rise, activating immunity, blocking lipase activity, and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Plant-based ceramide products were also officially commercialized in 1998. So far, its products are mainly nutritional supplements such as functional drinks, tablets, and health food, and there are not many products that actually feel effective.
