What are Ceramides?
Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids (fats) that make up approximately 50% of the skin’s barrier. These lipids are crucial for creating the skin’s lipid barrier, which acts as a natural seal. This barrier helps keep the skin soft, hydrated, and protected from external stressors.
Imagine your skin as a brick wall – the skin cells are like the bricks, and ceramides act as the mortar (or glue) that holds the bricks together. This "mortar" forms a protective layer that prevents moisture from escaping and shields the skin from harmful substances like dirt, bacteria, and environmental pollutants.
Why Are Ceramides Important for Skin?
Ceramides act as the “glue” that holds skin cells together, creating a strong and protective
barrier. This helps:
Strengthens the skin barrier
Reducing water loss and protecting against irritants.
Prevents dryness and irritation
Keeping baby skin soft and nourished.
Soothes sensitive skin
Minimizing discomfort from rashes or external aggressors
Supports natural skin development
Helping maintain long-term skin health.
How do Ceramides work?
Why Do Babies Need Ceramides?1,2
A baby’s skin is soft, delicate, and much thinner than adult skin, making it more prone to moisture loss, dryness, and irritation. Unlike adults, babies have lower ceramide levels at birth, which means their skin barrier is still developing and needs extra protection. Ceramides help form a protective layer that locks in moisture and shields the skin from environmental irritants, ensuring that your baby’s skin stays hydrated, healthy, and resilient.
A deficiency in ceramides can lead to increased skin sensitivity, dryness, and irritation.
