Ceramide, a lipid substance, is an amide compound formed by dehydration of long chain fatty acids and sphingosine amino group. It is very similar to the structure of the material constituting the skin stratum corneum, and can quickly penetrate into the skin stratum corneum and combine with water molecules to form a network structure, thus playing a role in moisturizing and replenizing water. Can treat dry skin, rough and a series of problems. Ceramide Powder produced by KINTAI is extracted from rice bran, and phytoceramide is water-soluble, so it is easy to add to the formula.
Ceramide belongs to a class of phospholipid molecules with a specific structure as the skeleton, the main components of which include choline ceramide phosphate and ethanolamine ceramide phosphate. Phospholipids are key components of cell membranes, and 40% to 50% of the sebum in the stratum corneum is composed of ceramides, which are the main part of the intercellular matrix and play an important role in maintaining water balance in the stratum corneum. Ceramides must have a strong ability to associate water molecules, by building a network structure within the stratum corneum, effectively locking in the water needed by the skin.

The Effect of Ceramide on Skin
Human skin is mainly composed of dermis, epidermis and subcutaneous tissue. Many skin problems, such as dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, red blood, sensitive skin, dry skin, rough skin, ceramide content is significantly lower than normal skin. In addition to these, under normal circumstances as people grow older, ceramides will gradually decrease, resulting in dryness, wrinkles and other problems. In general, people with a weak stratum corneum have much lower ceramide levels than healthy muscles. If the ceramide content in the skin is not enough, it can not resist external enemies and lock water, and the skin as a whole will show various abnormal states. The skin care products we use every day and the skin reacts with our epidermal layer, the outer layer of the epidermal layer is the stratum corneum, and the ceramide we say is the material between the stratum corneum cells, the proportion can reach 50%, which is equivalent to ceramide forming a protective film on the surface of the skin, which can resist external corrosion.
Moisturizing effect: Ceramides, as the main component of the stratum corneum lipids of the skin, are essential for repairing the skin barrier and can make the skin shine. By constructing a network structure in the stratum corneum, it can effectively lock in water, reduce water evaporation, and maintain skin moisture for a long time with its excellent water retention ability.
Anti-aging effect: Ceramide can promote the metabolism of skin cells, accelerate the natural shedding of aging cells, and accelerate the generation of new cells, thereby slowing down the skin aging process and maintaining the youthful vitality of the skin.
Anti-allergic effect: Ceramides promote the thickening of the stratum corneum, enhance the resistance of the skin to external stimuli, form an effective barrier, prevent allergic reactions, and help repair the role of red blood, improve the overall stability of the skin.
Whitening effect: Ceramide also has the function of inhibiting the production of melanin, which helps to lighten the stain and even the skin color.
Barrier strengthening: The skin contains sufficient ceramides to resist the stimulation of the external environment. Once the barrier is damaged, ceramides can repair the damaged area and reduce the irritation of harmful external substances to the skin. On the other hand, in the absence of ceramides, the skin is vulnerable to environmental changes (such as sun exposure, cold), resulting in discomfort or damage.
Anti-tumor: Ceramide treatment of tumor is different from general drugs, it can directly act on apoptosis signaling pathway, thereby causing apoptosis.
Anti-inflammation: TNF (tumor necrosis factor) is a positive regulator of inflammation, and TNF can directly activate neutrophils. In recent years, data have shown that increasing the amount of intracellular ceramide can increase the amount of TNF in the body, and then trigger a variety of cell apoptosis. The effect of ceramides on TNF, a positive regulator of inflammation, suggests that ceramides have anti-inflammatory effects.
Application Fields
Used in Food Industry
At present, ceramide has been used to develop a number of physiological functions of health food, the main function is to inhibit the rise of blood pressure, activate immunity, hinder lipase activity, inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, etc., mainly functional drinks, tablets and other nutritional supplements and health food.
Used in Medicine
Ceramides play an important role in inducing biological effects of various cytokines, vitamin D3, Fas and CD28 ligands. At the same time, it is also deeply involved in the basic physiological process of cell differentiation, and shows important regulatory functions on cell proliferation, apoptosis, senescence and other life cycle stages, and is a key factor in maintaining cell homeostasis and functional diversity.
Used in Cosmetics
The use of ceramide-infused vitality essence skin care products can effectively strengthen the anti-aging barrier of the skin, help skin to maintain its elastic firmness and delicate touch, while slowing the formation of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. Ceramide as an excellent natural moisturizing factor, its unique skin affinity ensures efficient absorption, and can be used as a medium to promote other nourishing ingredients deep penetration into the skin, especially for mature skin, its moisturizing effect is particularly significant, can reach about 80% efficient moisturizing rate, bring lasting moisturizing care for the skin.
