Ceramides（Cat No.:M002778）, are a family of lipid molecules found in the skin’s stratum corneum, the outermost layer. They play a vital role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function, preventing moisture loss, and protecting against external irritants. Ceramides are composed of sphingosine and fatty acid and come in various types (e.g., Ceramide 1, Ceramide 2, Ceramide 3) with specific functions. Due to their moisturizing and skin-repairing properties, ceramides are extensively used in skin care products and dermatology. They help restore the skin’s natural moisture balance, improve its texture, and are beneficial for addressing conditions like dryness, eczema, and aging skin.
