Did you mean Ceramides?

GlossaryCeramides

lipid molecules crucial for skin barrier and moisture retention

Ceramides are lipid molecules found in high concentrations within cell membranes, particularly in the outermost layer of the skin. They play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function and retaining moisture, which helps protect against environmental damage and dehydration. In the context of hair, ceramides help to strengthen the hair shaft and maintain its integrity, reducing breakage and enhancing overall hair health.
