CERAMIDE Ceramide is the lipid (fat) materials that make up 20 percent of our intercellular matrix; it’s the “glue” that binds skin cells together for that firm, smooth appearance while protecting it against sun damage and dehydration. In skin care, ceremides are highly valued for their ability to boost hydration and are often popular in products targeting anti-aging, dry, and sensitive complexions.

4. LECITHIN Extracted from soy beans, Lecithin is a lipid that acts as both an emulsifier and moisturizer.
