Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The Ceramides in Cosmetic industry can be broken down into several segments, Fermentation Ceramide, Plant Extract Ceramide, etc.
Across the world, the major players cover Evonik, Croda, etc.
Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer. Contrary to previous assumptions that ceramides and other sphingolipids found in cell membrane were purely structural elements, ceramide can participate in a variety of cellular signaling: examples include regulating differentiation, proliferation, and programmed cell death (PCD) of cells.
