Description
Sphingolipids are lipids that are naturally present in the cell membranes of the skin. In cosmetics, they are used to restore the skin barrier, retain moisture, increase elasticity, and protect against irritants. They work synergistically with ceramides, improving hydration, reducing transepidermal water loss, and helping the skin better resist external aggressors. They are suitable for dry, sensitive, damaged, and aging skin. They are used in creams, serums, balms, anti-aging products, and cosmetics after acids or retinoids.
