Ceramides are fats or lipids that are found in skin cells. They make up 30% to 40% of your outer skin layer, or epidermis. Ceramides are important for retaining your skin’s moisture and preventing the entry of germs into your body. If your skin’s ceramide content decreases (which often happens with age), it can become dedrated. You may develop skin problems like dryness and irritation. Ceramides play a role in your skin’s barrier function,which serves as your body’s first line of defense to external pollution and toxins. They also promote brain development and maintain cell function. They’re often present in skin care products like ceramide moisturizers, creams, serums, and toners — all of which can help keep your skin healt by improving its ceramide levels.

There are natural and synthetic ceramides. Natural ceramides/Ceramides are found in the outer layers of your skin, as well as in animals like cows and plants like soy. Synthetic ceramides (also known as Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide or Pseudo-ceramides) are man-made. Because they’re free from contaminants and more stable than natural ceramides, Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide/Pseudo-ceramides are more commonly used in skin care products.The price of Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide is also much lower than that of natural “Ceramide”. It can enhance the cohesion of epidermal cells, promote the dration of epidermis, improve the skin barrier, and improve the skin’s water retention capacity.

Both Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide and Ceramide substances are widely used in skin care products. But they have some differences:

Composition: Ceramide is a naturally occurring substance in the skin, while Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide are artificially synthesized substances.

Efficacy: Ceramide can promote the anti-aging and repair of skin, and keep the skin moist and elastic. Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl  Palmitamide has the same effect, but not as significant as Ceramide.

Effect: Cetyl-PG Hydroxyetl Palmitamide effects are generally not as significant as Ceramide, but they also have certain effects.

In general, Cetyl-PG droxyetl palmitamide products are a good substitute, but if you want better results, you’d better use skin care products containing Ceramide.

Key Technology Parameters:

Functions:

1. Maintain skin moisture: By forming layered molecular complexes through drogen bonding, promote dration of the epidermis, thereby improving the skin’s ability to maintain moisture.
2. Skin care: Enhance the cohesion of epidermal cells, repair the skin barrier function, so as to alleviate the scaling symptoms of the Stratum corneum, help the epidermis recover, and improve the skin appearance. It can also prevent or reduce skin peeling caused by ultraviolet radiation, thereby helping the skin resist aging.
