Frequently asked questions
what are the benefits of using Ceramide Body Oil Stick?
Ceramide Body Oil Stick relieves uncomfortable, dry skin with hands-free easy application to target especially problematic, dry areas on the body. Ceramides moisturize and supports a healthy skin barrier.
can I use Ceramide Body Oil Stick on my face?
Ceramide Body Oil Stick was formulated and tested for use as a body product. It can be used on the face but we recommend patch testing first to ensure it's compatible with your individual skin needs.
what are ceramides?
ceramides are a type of lipid naturally found in the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin). Ceramides make up approximately 50% of your skin barrier and are an essential part of the skin’s extracellular matrix.
why are ceramides important?
ceramides play a critical role in maintaining a strong barrier to protect skin against dehydration, irritation, and signs of aging. Ceramides help prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by helping skin retain moisture. Additionally, around the age of 30, the extracellular matrix’s composition naturally changes and produces a lower percentage of ceramides, cholesterol, and free fatty acids.
what is the skin barrier and extracellular matrix?
the skin barrier is considered the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin) and the extracellular matrix. The extracellular matrix is composed mostly of lipids (ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol) in addition to collagen, elastin, and enzymes. You can think of the skin barrier as a brick wall, the skin cells are the bricks and the extracellular matrix is the mortar holding the bricks together.
how can you repair a damaged skin barrier?
stop anything that can be irritating your skin (over cleansing or exfoliating, exposure to extreme temperatures, etc) and replenish your skin with ingredients like ceramides, humectants, and emollients. Our ceramide barrier serum contains all three!
Is Ceramide Body Oil Stick safe to use while pregnant?
our products are always formulated to be effective and gentle. however, we always recommend showing our ingredients list to your doctor or health care provider to confirm safety for you specifically!
