Croda Beauty Actives has unveiled a bio-fermented, skin-mimicking ceramide. Its attributes aid in formulating climate-adaptive skin care solutions that shield skin from challenging environmental circumstances.
Designated DS-Ceramide Y3S [1], this novel active element represents Croda’s response to the “geoskincare” movement. This concept centers on customized treatments based on the geographic and environmental setting.
Climate variations and skin barrier
Created utilizing an IECIC compliant, fermentation-sourced Ceramide NP, this fat-soluble active component underwent a clinical assessment with particular temperature and moisture levels to gauge its effectiveness across diverse climates.
Moderate, arid & scorching, arid & frigid, and damp conditions were applied to groups from various locales such as South Korea and Italy to assess climate’s effect on the skin’s barrier. According to the producer of cosmetic active elements, these evaluations have revealed that DS-Ceramide Y3S delivers notable immediate protection for the skin in arid and frigid surroundings and provides compounding advantages by enhancing skin moisture following 7 days of consistent usage in humid climates.
Croda Beauty Actives also determined that DS-Ceramide Y3S at 0.5% considerably augmented skin moisture in typical (moderate) conditions (+31% at T2 weeks vs T0) and scorching and arid environments (+47% at T2 weeks vs T0), yielding results analogous to 1% positive control (hyaluronic acid).
DS-Ceramide Y3S is a constituent with 100% natural origins (ISO 16128) and possesses RSPO, COSMOS, and NATRUE certifications. It is also appropriate for vegans and adheres to IECIC standards.
