What is Ceramide Powder Used For?

Ceramide provides a protective layer over the skin, helping to lock in moisture. It is often used in skincare products like moisturisers, creams, lotions and serums.

It is suitable for all skin types, including dry skin, sensitive skin and oily skin. For dry skin types it can increase moisture levels and reduce dryness. In sensitive skin types, ceramide helps to reinforce the natural skin barrier and reduce redness. It is great for oily skin as it hydrates the skin but doesn't clog pores.

When using ceramide powder in skincare formulations, add it to the oil phase at 75°C, prior to forming the emulsion. The recommended usage rate for ceramide is between 0.05% – 1.5%.
