Ceramide EOP

Explained

Ceramide EOP is a type of Ceramide.

EOP stands for a linked Ester fatty acid, a linked Omega hydroxy fatty acid, and the Phytosphingosine base.

Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin. They bind dead skin cells together to create a barrier. The ceramides in our skin have the ability to hold water to keep our skin hydrated.

Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A strong skin barrier helps with:

  • maintaining firmness
  • keeping skin hydrated
  • protecting against irritating ingredients
  • reduce inflammation

If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.
