Ice Cream Ceramides

Vegetal ceramides (Vegetal Ceramides BGG), derived from an optimized rice extract to maximize its content of sphingolipids and phospholipids, are a key ingredient in skincare. Ceramides play an essential role in the structure and quality of the stratum corneum, representing 40% of the intercellular lipid cement. This ingredient controls critical biological functions, such as regulating transepidermal water flow, cohesion of the stratum corneum layers, and skin protection, in addition to contributing to the restoration of the skin barrier. Clinical studies have shown that vegetable ceramides significantly improve skin hydration, with a 53% increase during the study period compared to the placebo. This effect provides immediate and long-lasting hydration, promoting healthier and more resilient skin.

Ectoine is a compound that acts as a protective molecule, helping the skin adapt to and withstand adverse conditions such as UV radiation and pollution. Its moisturizing properties improve water retention, providing a more flexible and hydrated appearance. Additionally, it strengthens the skin barrier, protecting against moisture loss and external irritants, while soothing the skin with its anti-inflammatory effect, making it ideal for sensitive skin. Although it does not replace sunscreen, it complements protection against UV damage and signs of aging.

Vitamin F Forte, derived from safflower oil, is rich in essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid in its natural form (C18:2; 9cis, 12cis). Vitamin F plays a crucial role in skin health, especially for those with compromised lipid barriers, dryness, or seborrheic conditions. Topical application of linoleic acid has been shown to restore the lipid barrier in just a few days, helping to reduce flakiness and improving hydration. This feature makes Vitamin F Forte an essential ingredient for promoting skin health, improving lipid barrier structure, and relieving symptoms associated with essential fatty acid deficiencies.
