Natural Ceramide Rich Face Products

Ceramides are a buzz word in skincare these days as they help to keep our skin hydrated, plump, and youthful. There are two broad types of ceramides, synthetic and natural, and at Nakin we only use plant ceramides, which occur naturally in plant oils and butters. We believe that these are much better for skin than synthetic ceramides as they can do a fantastic job of hydrating and plumping our skin, but also offer masses of kind and nourishing benefits that our skin is able to lap up, without resistance. This is because natural ingredients are so much more biocompatible with our skin.

Ceramides are essential lipids found naturally in the skin's outermost layer, playing a key role in preserving the skin's barrier and retaining moisture. In skincare products, ceramides are often included to help restore and maintain these crucial lipids, especially in cases where the skin's natural ceramide levels have been depleted due to ageing, environmental factors, or harsh skincare routines. By replenishing ceramides, these products can improve skin hydration, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the skin's overall resilience against irritants and allergens. Consequently, ceramide-infused skincare formulations are excellent for their ability to support a healthy, well-moisturised, and youthful-looking complexion.

At Nakin all of our cream products are oil based and so include lots of natural ceramides from plants. Our full range can be found here and contains all the products that you could want in a face care range.

Face products that are rich in natural ceramides offer numerous benefits for the skin. Ceramides are lipid molecules essential for maintaining the skin's barrier and retaining moisture. By incorporating ceramide-rich products into your skincare routine, you can enhance your skin's hydration and firmness. These products help in repairing the skin barrier, protecting it against environmental aggressors like pollution and harsh weather. Furthermore, they can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion. Natural ceramides are especially beneficial for those with sensitive or dry skin, as they reinforce the skin’s natural defences and improve overall resilience. Additionally, these products will benefit all ages and skin types, making them a versatile addition to your skincare arsenal.

One of the main advantages of using natural ceramide face products is the ability to improve the skin's moisture levels. As we age, our skin produces fewer ceramides, leading to dryness and loss of elasticity. By replenishing these essential lipids through topical application, we can maintain optimal hydration levels in our skin. This not only results in a plumper and more youthful appearance but also helps prevent common issues like dehydration, flakiness and rough patches.

Furthermore, natural ceramide products work well with other skincare ingredients and can enhance their effectiveness. For example, when combined with hyaluronic acid which we also use in most of our face products, ceramides can boost the skin's moisture retention capability, resulting in a more hydrated and supple complexion. Additionally, incorporating natural ceramide products into your routine can also improve the efficacy of anti-ageing ingredients like our other plant actives.

Another benefit of natural ceramide face products is their ability to protect the skin from external aggressors. As mentioned earlier, ceramides play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function. By reinforcing this barrier, they act as a shield against pollution and other environmental stressors that can damage the skin. This is especially important in today's world, where our skin is constantly exposed to harmful elements.

In addition to their skincare benefits, using natural ceramide face products like ours can also be a sustainable choice for your beauty routine. Our products are typically made from plant-based sources and do not contain any synthetic fragrances or harsh chemicals like parabens. So, by opting for natural ceramide products, you are making a kinder choice for your skin.

Remember to always read ingredient labels and choose products with high concentrations of natural ceramides like plant oils and butters, for optimal results.
