Ceramides（Cat No.:M004487）, are a class of lipid molecules crucial for skin barrier function and cellular signaling. They are naturally occurring components of the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin. Ceramides play a pivotal role in maintaining skin hydration, protecting against environmental stressors, and regulating cell differentiation and apoptosis. Due to their importance in skin health, ceramides are widely used in skincare products to improve moisturization and barrier function. Their ability to enhance skin’s natural protective mechanisms makes them valuable in addressing conditions like dry skin and certain dermatological disorders.
