Wheat phytoceramides + DGDGCeramosides™
Wheat-derived glucosylceramides for oral use.
Brand / technology by Seppic
Ceramosides™ is the wheat-derived ceramide ingredient in LipidCell. Ceramides are part of the skin’s protective lipid barrier, which helps it retain moisture. This is why skin hydration is a focus of research on oral Ceramosides™.
Why this matters
Wheat ceramides, oral hydration research and vitamin A for normal skin.
- Why skin needs lipids
Ceramides help form the protective barrier in the outer layer of skin. Ceramosides™ combines wheat-derived ceramides with another wheat lipid, DGDG.
- Studied as an oral ingredient
A placebo-controlled study investigated 70 mg Ceramosides™ oil daily and measured skin hydration and water loss. Read the study details below; the research tested the ingredient preparation, not LipidCell.
- The combination in LipidCell
Two capsules combine 70 mg Ceramosides™ with 1000 mg squalene and vitamins A and E. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. The formula contains wheat-derived ingredients and fish gelatin.
What the oral research found
A placebo-controlled study in 72 women with dry skin investigated 70 mg CERAMOSIDES™ oil daily for 56 days. Researchers measured better hydration and less water loss. The study tested the ingredient preparation, not LipidCell. Its authors worked for Seppic; the effects were not maintained 56 days after supplementation ended.
