Ceramides

Fun fact: natural ceramides make up around 50% of your epidermis - the outer layer of your skin! What are they, exactly? Ceramides are natural fatty acids. Within your skin, they help to form your natural moisture barrier, which keeps your skin hydrated. When you use topical skincare products with ceramides, they offer an oil-free way to lock in moisture and kick dryness to the curb.

The extra hydration that comes from ceramides makes your skin less prone to irritation, and some research suggests ceramides might also offer some environmental protection. In other words, you get smoother, softer, younger-looking, more comfortable, and possibly safer skin, all with simple natural ingredients. Need we say more?
