Wheat lipid extract (Triticum vulgare) (CERAMOSIDES™)

Ceramides are structural lipids naturally present in the upper layers of the skin, where they play a central role in forming the skin barrier. Their concentration can decline with age, environmental exposure, or certain nutritional imbalances, contributing to drier and more vulnerable skin. CERAMOSIDES™ is a patented lipid extract derived from wheat (Triticum vulgare), combining natural phytoceramides with digalactosyl-diglyceride (DGDG), a glycolipid involved in cell membrane hydration. This combination contributes to supporting the skin's barrier function and maintaining its hydration level. Clinical studies have assessed its efficacy on skin suppleness and hydration following oral administration. The benefit of oral phytoceramide supplementation lies in their ability to reach the skin through systemic circulation, complementing intakes that everyday diet does not always provide sufficiently. CERAMOSIDES™ is guaranteed to be of natural origin, non-GMO, gluten-free, and additive-free.
