What are ceramides?
Ceramides are lipids (oils) that occur naturally in the skin and are essential for supporting the skin's protective barrier and retaining moisture. They are the building blocks of your skin, making up more than 50% of its composition, and play an important role in protecting it against external influences such as UV-A rays and environmental damage, and in keeping it youthful and supple.
The quantity and quality of ceramides begin to decline as your skin ages. When ceramide levels are low, your skin barrier is weakened, allowing moisture to escape (also known as transepidermal water loss or TEWL), making your skin susceptible to irritation. This can lead to a damaged skin barrier, causing dry, flaky skin, redness, irritation, and dehydration.
Applying ceramides directly to the skin helps replenish the barrier and retain moisture. Ceramides also help improve your skin's tolerance to active ingredients, such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid, by protecting your skin barrier.
About Nip + Fab:
The Nip + Fab range contains synthetic ceramides, known as pseudoceramides, which are more stable and planet-friendly. They can also hydrate your skin and better mimic the composition of natural lipids and the natural structure of your skin compared to plant-based ceramides.
The range also contains other skin-strengthening active ingredients such as niacinamide, to help even out your complexion, and glycerin, a humectant that helps your skin retain moisture.
