Ceramides are essential lipids that make up over 40% of the skin’s protective barrier, helping it stay smooth, firm, and hydrated. Often compared to the mortar between bricks, they hold skin cells together and prevent moisture loss. As we age—or when skin is exposed to sun, harsh cleansers, or cold weather—ceramides levels naturally decline. This can lead to dryness, irritation, and a weakened skin barrier. Adding ceramides into your daily routine helps restore balance, comfort, and visible smoothness. They deeply hydrate, support regeneration, and improve the skin’s ability to defend itself against damaging external factors. Ceramides are especially helpful for dry, sensitive and aging skin.
