Lipid-Replenishing Balm With Oats & Ceramide NP

Ceramide NP : also known as ceramide III, these are lipids that occur naturally in the skin. They are the main components of the skin's lipid cement and account for 40% of the lipids in the stratum corneum.

These lipids strengthen the skin barrier to make it less reactive and protect it from external aggressions. Ceramides are considered the cement of the skin: they help maintain the cohesion and strength of the epidermis. A healthy skin barrier helps retain water in the skin and protect it from external aggressions. Ceramide NP helps rebalance damaged and atopic-prone skin. It promotes epidermal comfort and combats skin dryness.

The level of ceramides in the skin decreases in winter and with age. When these skin lipids are lacking, the skin's protective barrier function is no longer properly maintained. It is therefore essential to incorporate ceramide-enriched products into your skincare routine to help restore and strengthen the skin barrier.
