Physicochemical Properties

Ceramide is a kind of phospholipid with ceramide as skeleton, mainly ceramide phosphocholine and ceramide phosphoethanolamine. Phospholipid is the main component of cell membrane. 40% ~ 50% of sebum in stratum corneum is composed of ceramide. 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.
