INCI:Water (and) Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate (and) Ceramide NP (and) Phenoxyethanol (and) Ceramide AP (and) Phytosphingosine (and) Cholesterol (and) Ethylhexylglycerin (and) Carbomer (and) Xanthan Gum (and) Ceramide EOP Category:Emollient Brand :SK-INFLUX Color:white pH Range: Optimal at 5-7. Usage Rate: Normal skin: 1.5 - 5 % Dry skin: 3 - 5 % Ageing skin: 3 - 5 % Skin repair/protection: 3 - 15 % Solubility: works well in oil-in-water emulsions Country of Origin: Germany Ceramide Complex is a multi-lamellar system of vegetable-derived, semi-synthetic ceramides, cholesterol, free fatty acids and phytosphingosine. Identical to lipids found in the skin, it has been concentrated and formulated into a system to provide enhanced skin moisturization and protection. Ceramide Complex restores the protective barrier function of the skin and offers enhanced delivery and exchange of skin lipids. Ceramide Complex is especially suitable for dry skin, aging skin and sensitive skin. Formulation Type: Suitable for creams, lotions, and serums. In emulsions , Ceramide Complex should be added to the water phase before the homogenization step. Adding Ceramide Complex to an existing recipe of an O/W emulsion drops the viscosity significantly. The reason for this is a rearrangement of the liquid crystalline structures. But the emulsion is not necessarily less stable in spite of the lower viscosity. To increase the viscosity it is suggested to increase the amount of consistency enhancer, e. g. the amount of Stearyl Alcohol. Since Ceramide Complex contains an anionic surfactant as a liposome builder cationic emulsifier systems should be avoided due to possible interactions.
