Ceramide Complex

Ceramide Complex – Skin-Identical Lipid Concentrate

Restore & Fortify the Skin Barrier | Vegan Ceramide Blend for Advanced Skincare

Support the skin’s natural barrier with this Ceramide Complex, a synergistic blend of skin-identical lipids that helps replenish essential components of the stratum corneum. This concentrated ingredient mimics the lipid composition of healthy skin—Ceramide NP, AP, and EOP, paired with Phytosphingosine and Cholesterol—for deep hydration, improved resilience, and smoother texture.

Designed for moisturizers, serums, barrier creams, and repair-focused treatments, this Ceramide Complex offers long-lasting moisturization and helps strengthen the skin against environmental stress, dryness, and irritation.

Key Benefits:

• Rebuilds Skin Barrier – Restores essential lipids to support skin structure and function
• Deep Hydration – Helps retain moisture and improve long-term hydration
  
• Gentle & Effective – Suitable for sensitive skin, barrier repair, and baby care
• Pro-Formulation Base – Designed to be easy to incorporate into emulsions

Formulation Guidelines
Recommended usage concentration
Normal skin: 1.5 - 5 % 
Dry skin: 3 - 5 % 
Ageing skin: 3 - 5 % 
Skin repair/protection: 3 - 15 % 

In emulsions Ceramide Complex should be added to the water phase before the homogenization step. Adding Ceramide Complex to an existing recipe of an O/W emulsion drops the viscosity significantly. The reason for this is a rearrangement of the liquid crystalline structures. But the emulsion is not necessarily less stable in spite of the lower viscosity. To increase the viscosity it is suggested to increase the amount of consistency enhancer, e. g. the amount of Stearyl Alcohol. Since Ceramide Complex contains an anionic surfactant as a liposome builder cationic emulsifier systems should be avoided due to possible interactions.

Depending on the type of skin and desired effect, Ceramide Complex is used with concentrations varying from 1 - 15 %. However, for typical applications such as ageing and dry skin a dosage level of 3 - 5 % is recommended. Add to the aqueous phase of your formulation.
