How are ceramides produced?

The ceramides used in skincare are derived from fruit sugars or vegetable oils, specifically jojoba oil and sunflower oil. They undergo fermentation and several chemical transformations in the laboratory. The fermentation process involves breaking down the molecules into nutrients that can be absorbed by the skin. The skincare products can also be obtained following a synthesis process. In this case, other procedures are developed. The ingredients are combined to create molecules suitable for sensitive skin. All transformation steps are carried out with care to preserve the benefits of these active ingredients. A unique feature of ceramides is their suitability for every skin type. However, those with a specific skin concern are the primary users. In hair care, ceramides follow the same process. The difference lies in the concentration level. Shampoos and hair masks sometimes have a high acid content. The reason for this is that they still need to be rinsed off after application.
