More than 50% of the skin consists of ceramides; fats naturally present in the skin. Ceramides protect the skin from harmful external influences and moisture loss. They also keep the skin supple and soft. The natural production of ceramides decreases as we age, and their quality also declines.
The Active Age line contains skin-identical phospholipids and sphingolipids. These skin-identical ingredients can penetrate deeper into the skin layers. They can also stimulate the skin's production of ceramides.
