Taking care of your skin involves proper moisturizing, external skin care, but also supplements supplements with interesting active ingredients such as ceramosides™.. You may have heard of them, but do you know what ceramides are, where they come from, why they're essential and how they act on your skin? In this article, we explain all about these active ingredients and their benefits for healthy, beautiful skin.

What are ceramides?

Ceramides are lipids naturally present in the outer layer of the skin, more precisely in the stratum corneum, where they form the major component of the "cement" that binds cells together. Ceramides play a crucial role in the cutaneous barrier, reconstituting the skin's outer layer to preserve hydration in the dermis, and reinforcing the permeability of the cutaneous barrier to external aggression. With age, the quantity and quality of lipids, including ceramides, present in the skin diminish by around 30%, resulting in drier, less elastic skin that is more prone to the signs of aging.

Where do ceramides come from?

Ceramides are extracted from natural sources, mainly plants such as wheat. They are extracted from the lipids present in wheat flour, not from wheat germ, and then transformed using a patented process to obtain an effective, low-dose, fast-acting active ingredient. This plant-based origin makes them suitable for a wide population, including those following a vegan diet.

Research has confirmed that ceramides derived from wheat, like those used in certain dietary supplements, arerapidly absorbed by the body when in liquid form and distributed to the outermost layer of the skin, which acts as a barrier, thus demonstrating their effectiveness.

Why are they essential?

Ceramides represent around 40% to 50% of the lipids in the skin's outer layer. They play an essential role in cell cohesion and water retention. With age, or as a result of hormonal changes during the menopause, their level decreases. This can lead to dehydration, irritation (linked to atopic dermatitis) and increased signs of skin ageing. Restoring these levels is essential to maintaining healthy, elastic skin.

What are the effects of taking ceramides?

When taken regularly, ceramides produce visible, measurable effects on the skin:

1- Improved hydration: Skin feels softer, better hydrated and more comfortable.

2- Wrinkle reduction: Proprietary studies show a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles thanks to improved skin elasticity.

3- Reinforcing the cutaneous barrier: The barrier is restored, so the skin retains its moisture and is even more permeable to external aggressions.

4- Even skin tone Roughness is reduced, leaving skin softer and more even.

The importance of using patented active ingredients

Not all ceramide-based supplements are created equal. Patented formulas, such as those containing Ceramosides™guarantee consistent quality. These patented active ingredients are often backed up by clinical studies, providing evidence of their efficacy and positive impact on the target. Choosing an objectivized product is therefore essential for obtaining measurable results, and coupled with a patent the quality is then sure to be demonstrated.

Evoleum and ceramosides™: a commitment to quality

At Evoleum, we use patented ceramosides™ in our formulations to guarantee optimal quality. We select high-quality phytoceramides, extracted from wheat, which are clinically proven to improve skin hydration and elasticity. These active ingredients are carefully integrated into our products to maximize their synergy with other natural ingredients, such as antioxidants and moisturizing agents.

For example, our supplements combine ceramosides™ with vitamin E and polyphenol-rich extracts to boost protection against free radicals and offer a complete solution to skin aging. We use powder-grade ceramosides™, ensuring good solubilization in our ampoules and rapid absorption to the organs of interest.

What types of ceramide do we use?

Evoleum favors patented ceramosides™, which are phytoceramides derived from wheat. These plant ceramides are selected for their quality and ability to effectively penetrate the skin's surface layer. They are standardized to ensure optimum ceramide concentration, maximizing their benefits for the skin. Through rigorous scientific testing, we ensure that every ingredient used in our formulations meets the highest standards of quality and efficacy.

Ceramosides™ are generally well tolerated. However, it is important to check the source of the , its possible excipients and allergens to avoid the risk of allergies or intolerances. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or under medical treatment, always consult a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement. Evoleum ceramosides are guaranteed gluten-free.

Scientific evidence to back it up

● A clinical study published in Cosmetics in 2017, demonstrated an improvement in skin hydration and age-related symptoms after 60 days of taking ceramosides™ orally.

● Proprietary studies have confirmed these beneficial results on hydration, skin texture and the reduction of aging symptoms.

Examples of use

At Evoleum, our patented ceramoside™-based supplements are part of an overall approach to well-being, with carefully studied formulations

How can you incorporate them into your routine?

Dietary supplements may contain ceramosides™, they often come in soft capsules. To get the most out of them, it's advisable to consume them daily for several weeks. As a complement, use topical skincare products containing ceramides for a combined, optimal approach.
