Ceramides

Ceramides are naturally occurring lipids (fats) that make up over 50% of the skin’s outer layer. They form the “mortar” between skin cells, sealing in moisture and protecting against external stressors. In the AgeBiome™ philosophy, ceramides are essential for rebuilding barrier integrity after exfoliation, microneedling, or peptide delivery—especially during the Maintain phase.

Why It’s Used:

  • Reinforces the skin’s protective barrier
  • Prevents transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
  • Calms sensitivity and strengthens post-treatment recovery
  • Helps balance biome function after active phases
  • Supports smoother texture and reduced reactivity
  • Often used in finishers or recovery formulations

What It Means for You:

Ceramides keep your skin strong, calm, and sealed—so that all the work your rituals do below the surface stays protected above it.
