Abstract

Ceramides constitute a heterogeneous category of sphingolipids characterized by subtle structural disparities, which play an important role in the formation of the stratum corneum. The aim of this article is to introduce a novel concept for the repurposing of ceramides, known as CeraFluid^®, which is entrapped within a lipophilic matrix obtained through an upcycling process. This innovative substance possesses the capability to rejuvenate the skin barrier, incorporating anti-aging and antipollution attributes, thereby facilitating a more streamlined formulation process.
