Ceramide encapsulated photosensitive delivery systems: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Improper skin barrier permeability leads to moisture loss and irritation, which is mitigated by engineering the precise stoichiometric balance of structural lipids. Controlling this ratio ensures the formation of stable lamellar phases required for effective barrier repair.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Ceramide encapsulated photosensitive delivery systems?

Keratinous surface pigment instability

(13)evidences

Structural instability and moisture loss in the skin's outer layers lead to impaired protection. Restoring this barrier prevents environmental damage and maintains cellular viability.

Ultraviolet induced ingredient degradation

(3)evidences

High concentrations of ceramides are prone to precipitation and poor skin penetration due to their inherent insolubility. Overcoming these physical stability limitations allows for higher therapeutic payloads in topical formulations.
