MC Actives has developed Oceamides, said to be the first natural marine ceramide from phytoplankton. This innovative ceramide strengthens the skin’s barrier, enhancing its integrity, protection and regeneration
ABSTRACT
The ageing process leads to a thinning of the epidermal layers by 6.4% per decade. Pollution, lifestyle or UV radiation increase ROS levels, which promotes oxidative stress and damages the skin’s barrier function. As a result, the skin turns dry and aged due to loss of integrity, protection and poor regeneration. MC Actives has developed Oceamides®, the first natural marine ceramide from phytoplankton. This innovative ceramide strengthens the skin’s barrier, enhancing its integrity, protection and regeneration. It provides a natural alternative to non-natural ceramides. Through a sustainable biotechnological extraction process, the marine ceramide retains its natural efficacy and, thanks to its water solubility, is easy to incorporate into formulations. It is the ideal ingredient for creams and serums aimed at enhancing the skin’s natural barrier
The ageing process produces a thinning of the epidermal layers by 6.4% per decade.1 Pollution, lifestyle, or UV radiation lead to ROS production, which promotes oxidative stress, damaging the skin barrier. If stressors are constant and intense, the epidermis will not be able to withstand the threats on its own, making it undergo changes in structure and composition, and hence, losing its functionality as a skin barrier.
