Ingredient
Ceramides
Lipids that support the skin barrier.
What it is
Ceramides (formulated in Velcria as Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP and Ceramide EOP) are lipids naturally found in the skin's outer layer.
Why it's used in skincare
Commonly used in skincare to support the skin barrier, often alongside complementary lipids like cholesterol and phytosphingosine.
How Dermiscia uses it
Formulated into Velcria as part of its skin-barrier-supporting ingredient system.
Important considerations
Barrier-support ingredients work as a system rather than in isolation.
