Vegetable Ceramides - BG (Butylene Glycol) Ceramides are keys to maintaining the moisture and protective barrier of the skin surface to keep the skin renewed.
Glycosphingolipids are a type of glycolipid, which is built on a ceramide lipid moiety. Ceramides account for about half of the lipids in the outer most layer of the epidermis or the stratum corneum. Dry, irritated and sensitive skin often lack ceramides and as a result, the skins protective barrier is compromised. When this happens, the skin becomes susceptible to environmental factors, changes of weather and irritants. By adding ceramides to the skin, the skins barrier is strengthened while preventing reoccurring symptoms, such as transepidermal water loss.
Vegetable ceramide is an excellent plant derived ingredient, recognized for reinforcing and protecting the skin from transepidermal water loss (TEWL), while reducing inflammation. It’s also believed that ceramides help improve epidermal integrity while providing skin and hair protection from photo-damage, surfactants, stress, and low humidity conditions. Environmental factors cause the skin and hair's natural ceramides to be compromised, leading to loss of moisture and allowing irritants to easily penetrate. Ceramides help to increase hydration, reduce inflammation, and to reinforce the skin's protective barrier as well as the hair shaft. FSS Vegetable Ceramides G can capitalize on the benefits of ceramides in hair and skin care applications.
