Science & Benefits

Ceramide EOP is a long-chain ceramide that acts as the 'glue' for the skin's lipid bilayers. It is critical for the architectural stability of the skin barrier. A deficiency in Ceramide EOP is a primary cause of Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and hyper-reactivity in acne-prone skin. By replenishing this lipid, the skin becomes significantly less susceptible to environmental irritants and 'rebound' oiliness. It is entirely non-comedogenic and is a high-value active for creating a 'bulletproof' barrier that keeps hydration in and acne-triggers out.
