What are ceramides?

Ceramides are the oils, also known as lipids, that hold skin cells together preventing moisture loss and visible damage. A simple comparison would be to consider skin cells the bricks of your skin and ceramides the mortar that hold them together.  As we age and through environmental damage, our ceramide levels deplete leaving our skin barrier vulnerable.  Signs of damage to your natural barrier may include redness, dryness, irritation, and inflammation.

Creator Abi Cleeve, known for her work in UV protection with Ultrasun, speaks about the vulnerability of the skin barrier:

“Having spent over two decades seeing first-hand what the sun does to the skin, I noticed the skin’s ceramide reserves were the first to fall victim to external aggressors. Ceramides are the lipids that hold skin cells together, forming the skin barrier. Protecting the skin with UV filters is the first line of defence, but I noticed the more the ceramide layer is attacked, the more exponential the risk of common skin issues become, including accelerated signs of ageing. I began developing Ceramide24 early in SkinSense’s journey as a response to this.  Formulating a delivery system which would effectively address the issue of a compromised skin barrier, replenishing ceramides. This range delivers a highly compatible ceramide lipid complex, combined with carefully selected actives; encapsulated in skin-compatible gel structures, which penetrate beneath the skin’s surface. The slow release of these ingredients ensures superior results throughout the day and night”

Ceramide24 offers a comprehensive range of powerful treatments with targeted actives to repair and rebuild for stronger, healthier skin and proven 24-hour hydration.

A core selection of innovative actives forms the base of every formula

Ceramide NP significantly increases hydration levels for up to 6 days after application, with a blend of essential fatty acids to calm compromised skin with inflammation and irritation.

Riboxyl ™ replenishes and reserves cell energy and oxygen levels to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.

Vitamin F Forte is particularly rich in Omega 6 essential fatty acids and Linoleic Acid to reduce essential moisture loss whilst aiding repair for restored bounce and antioxidant protection.

Niacinamide is a true multi-tasker shown to significantly increase the levels of ceramides and essential fatty acids and reducing oxidative stress. Niacinamide improves skin texture, protects DNA, repairs damage, and increases key proteins in the skin’s natural barrier.
