Ceramides are a family of lipids found in the skin’s outer layer. In skincare and supplements, the full formulation shows how they are used. Compare topical moisturising care with clearly specified oral ingredients, and explore the squalene, CERAMOSIDES® and vitamins A and E in LipidCell.
What do ceramides do in the skin?
Ceramides form part of the lipid mixture between cells in the stratum corneum. This arrangement helps limit water loss. The family includes different ceramide types; a cream’s complete formula, texture and intended use help you choose care for your skin.
What is the difference between a cream and a capsule?
A cream is applied directly to the skin; its complete formulation determines how it moisturises and feels. An oral ingredient goes through digestion and metabolism. For capsules, compare the named ingredients, their daily amounts and the research on the specific preparation.
What does oral wheat-extract research tell us?
Trials have examined specific wheat-derived preparations. A 2011 randomised study used 350 mg of wheat extract oil daily for three months in 51 women with dry to very dry skin. The publication below describes that tested wheat extract oil, its study design and measurements.
Choose around your main concern
For a skin-focused supplement, look at the full formula and the role of its nutrients. LipidCell combines squalene, a wheat-derived CERAMOSIDES® preparation and vitamins A and E. If hair loss is your main concern, seek advice to identify its cause and choose appropriate care.
LipidCell: your two-capsule daily formula
LipidCell combines squalene, a wheat-derived CERAMOSIDES® preparation and vitamins A and E. It contains squalene, not the hydrogenated ingredient squalane often found in cosmetics. One pack has 60 capsules: two daily provide 30 daily servings.
| Ingredient | Amount per daily serving |
|---|---|
| Squalene | 1000 mg |
| CERAMOSIDES® wheat-germ-oil preparation | 70 mg, including 10.5 mg ceramides and 10.5 mg DGDG |
| Vitamin A | 800 µg — 100% NRV |
| Vitamin E | 24 mg — 200% NRV |
Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
These recognised functions explain the place of vitamins A and E alongside squalene and CERAMOSIDES® in LipidCell. The table shows the amount of each ingredient in the two-capsule daily serving.

Frequently asked questions
