Protects and strengthens cell cohesion by :

  • Activation of cell differentiation
  • Stimulation of epidermal lipid synthesis
  • Reinforcement of intercellular cement The bi-lipid structure of Céramidone ® , close to that of cutaneous ceramides (with a polar head and two lipophilic carbon chains) gives it by biomimicry an activity on the restructuring of the cutaneous barrier

Ceramidone® stimulates the synthesis of epidermal lipids and in particular cerebrosides, ceramides 1 and 2. Perfectly suited to make-up products, Ceramidone® can be used in any type of care aimed at strengthening the integrity of the skin.
