Glossy Cleansing Foam Face Wash is the perfect way to start your daily skin care routine.

The Super Power ingredients in Glossy Cleansing Foam focus on moisture retention, skin barrier function, and improving skin texture.

  • Strengthens the Skin Barrier: Ceramides are a major component of the skin's lipid barrier, which helps to protect the skin from external damage and prevent moisture loss.
  • Improves Hydration: By strengthening the skin barrier, ceramides help the skin retain moisture, leading to better hydration and a more supple appearance.
  • Reduces Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL): Ceramide 3 helps to reduce the amount of water that evaporates from the skin, keeping it well-hydrated and preventing dryness.
  • Soothes Irritated Skin: Ceramides have anti-inflammatory properties that can help soothe and calm irritated or sensitive skin.
  • Protects against Environmental Stressors: Ceramide 3 helps to protect the skin from damage caused by pollution, UV rays, and other environmental factors.
  • May help with acne-prone skin: Ceramide 3 can improve skin barrier function in acne-prone skin, potentially reducing breakouts and promoting clearer skin.

Ceramide 1, also known as ceramide EOS, is a type of ceramide, a lipid molecule essential for skin health, that plays a crucial role in maintaining a strong skin barrier and preventing moisture loss. Here's a more detailed explanation:

What are Ceramides? Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids that make up a significant portion of the skin's outer layer (stratum corneum). They act like "mortar" between the "bricks" (skin cells), forming a protective barrier that helps retain moisture and shield the skin from external irritants.

Why are Ceramides Important?

  • Hydration: Ceramides help prevent water from evaporating from the skin, keeping it hydrated and plump.
  • Barrier Function: A healthy skin barrier, rich in ceramides, protects against environmental stressors like pollution, allergens, and bacteria.
  • Reduced Irritation and Redness: A strong skin barrier is less prone to irritation and redness.
  • Anti-Aging Effects: By maintaining skin hydration and protecting against damage, ceramides can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Ceramide 1 (EOS) and its Role: Ceramide 1, also known as Ceramide EOS, is a specific type of ceramide that helps maintain the long-short-long periodicity of the skin barrier. It is believed to play a "binding role" in the lipid layers of the extracellular matrix. Ceramide 1, along with other ceramides like 3 and 6II, are considered key players in maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
