Well-known in skincare and widely used in the cosmetics industry, ceramides represent nearly 40% of the lipids in the skin and act as a cement between the cells..

Where It’s Sourced

The ceramides Prose sources are produced with a patented process of fermenting corn starch and rapeseed. Highly committed to sustainability, our supplier uses upcycled European olive oil to create the solvent used for our ceramides.

THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES SCIENCE: HELPS REINFORCE THE SKIN BARRIER AND PROMOTE SKIN ELASTICITY

Many studies have been conducted on ceramides — as such, there is a lot of knowledge around the benefits of ceramides and the way they work. Recent tests show that ceramides reinforce the skin barrier, particularly when it comes to protection against dust in urban environments. Skin hydration is also improved due to heightened moisture retention, a result of ceramides' sealing effect on the skin. As ceramides represent nearly half of the skin’s extracellular matrix, they also improve elasticity and smoothness over time, which supports an overall improvement in skin appearance. Moreover, as the skin recognizes ceramides as a part of its makeup, the actives are delivered more quickly to the epidermis. This high-performing ingredient has important restructuring, elasticizing, and smoothing effects on the skin, and it’s particularly suitable for sensitive and very dry skin.
