Ceramide, also known as sphingomyelin, is a lipid that exists in the skin and plays an important role in the formation of the cuticle. It is a common structural unit of (nerve) sphingolipids. Fatty acids have a structure of an acid amide bond on the amino group of sphingosine. If a sugar is bound to it, it becomes a sphingolipid, and if it binds to phosphate choline, it becomes a (neuro) sphingomyelin. Ceramide is an intermediate metabolite of sphingolipids, especially occupying an important position in biosynthesis. Only small amounts are present outside of platelets. Patients with Fabry disease, one of hereditary lipidosis, accumulate large amounts of ceramide in the cerebellum and kidneys. Recent studies have shown that when the skin appears dry, desquamated, and cracked, and its barrier function is significantly reduced, skin supplementation with ceramide can quickly restore moisturizing and barrier functions.

Ceramide is the most recent years developed a new generation of 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 toa 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.
