WHAT ARE CERAMIDES?
Ceramides are lipids (oils) found naturally in the skin and are essential in supporting the skin’s protective barrier and retaining moisture. They are the building blocks of our skin, comprising over 50% of its composition and play an important role in protecting it against external aggressors like UVA rays and environmental damage, as well as keeping it youthful and supple.
Ceramide quantity and quality starts to diminish as skin ages, and when ceramide levels are low, the skin barrier is weakened, allowing moisture to escape (known as transepidermal water loss, or TEWL), which makes it prone to irritation. This can lead to a damaged skin barrier, which causes dry, flaky skin, redness, irritation and dehydration. Applying ceramides directly to skin helps replenish its barrier and retain moisture. Ceramides also help to improve skin’s tolerance of active ingredients, such as glycolic and salicylic acids, by protecting the skin barrier.
Nip + Fab’s range contains synthetic ceramides, known as pseudoceramides, which are more stable, planet-friendly and able to hydrate skin as well as able to better mimic the composition of natural lipids and the skin’s natural structure compared to plant-derived ceramides. The range also contains other skin-boosting active ingredients like niacinamide, to help even skin tone, and glycerin, a humectant that helps skin retain moisture.
Vegan, cruelty free and fragrance free.
