What ceramides are and why your skin needs them
Ceramides are among the lipids naturally present in the stratum corneum, the outer layer of the skin. Together with cholesterol and fatty acids, they form the skin’s structural cement, which holds the skin cells together and prevents excessive water loss. Put simply, ceramides are like the mortar between the bricks of the skin barrier. If there are too few ceramides, the barrier is disrupted and the skin loses moisture and becomes drier, more sensitive and more prone to irritation.
Every day, the skin is exposed to changes in the weather, dry air, UV radiation and frequent cleansing. All of this can weaken its protective barrier.
RHEASOME® CeraBoost: ceramide NP in lipid vesicles
The cream contains the ingredient RHEASOME® CeraBoost from Evonik. In it, ceramide NP, phytosphingosine and plant cholesterol are enclosed in tiny lipid vesicles. According to the manufacturer, these lipids are a natural part of the skin and the ingredient is designed to support the skin barrier of dry and mature skin.
Ceramides or hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid binds water. Ceramides are part of the lipid barrier that keeps water in the skin. In dry and sensitive skin, these two ingredients complement each other.
Who the cream is suitable for
- for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated skin,
- for skin with a weakened protective barrier, for example after frequent washing or in dry air,
- for everyday morning and evening care,

For sensitive or reactive skin, we recommend first testing every new cosmetic product on a small area of skin and introducing it into your routine gradually.
