Ceramide is the main part of intercellular matrix, which plays an important role in maintaining water balance in stratum corneum. Ceramide has a strong ability to bind water molecules. It maintains skin moisture by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, ceramide can keep skin moisture.
