Ceramide (pronounced ser-A-mid OR ceramide) is a family of lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid.
Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up
sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer. For years, it was assumed that ceramides and other sphingolipids found in
the bilayer cell membrane were purely structural elements. This is now known to be not completely true. Ceramide can actually act as
a signaling molecule. The most well-known functions of ceramides as cellular signals include regulating the differentiation, proliferation,
programmed cell death (PCD), and apoptosis (Type I PCD) of cells.
 

(1)Ceramide in maintaining the skin barrier function plays a very important role.

(2)Using ceramide can obviously enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes, improve dry skin, reduce skin desquamation.

(3)Ceramide maintain skin moisture

(4)Anti-aging function

(5)Regulate cell growth variation

(6)Ceramide is the cytotoxic regulator in the cell

1. Cosmetics
Ceramide is the most recent years developed a new generation of the moisturizing agent is a lipid-soluble substance, it constitutes the
physical structure of the stratum corneum of skin similar to quickly penetrate the skin, and cuticle of the water, forming a kind of network.
structure, to seal in moisture. Increase with age and into old age, exist in human skin will gradually reduce ceramide, dry skin and rough
skin, skin type and other abnormal symptoms appear is due to a decrease in the amount of ceramide. So to prevent such skin abnormalities
added ceramide is an ideal way.

2. Functional Foods
Taking ceramide, absorbed in the small intestine and transferred to the blood, and then transported to the body, so that the skin cells to
obtain a good recovery and regeneration, but also allows the body's own neural acid biosynthesis.
