Ceramide Complex PE-F is a natural, water-based lipid dispersion of phospholipids and sphingolipids that supports the skin’s own barrier lipids. It helps hydrate, smooth and visibly improve dry, compromised skin, making it a valuable active for barrier-repair skincare. According to ISO 16128, it is 100% of natural origin (94.73% natural).

Benefits and Uses (Ceramide Complex for Dry Skin & Barrier Repair)
- Hydrates and nourishes dry skin
- Supports and strengthens the skin barrier
- Reduces visible flakiness and roughness
- Helps skin retain moisture for longer
- Suitable for sensitive, reactive or compromised skin
- Ideal for natural and clean-label skincare formulations
How It Works
- Sphingolipids are the natural building blocks of the skin’s own ceramides
- Phospholipids help deliver lipids into the upper skin layers and support moisture retention
- Helps reinforce the lipid matrix between skin cells, reducing transepidermal water loss
- Improves skin texture by restoring natural moisture balance
How Ceramide Complex PE-F Restores the Skin Barrier
The skin barrier depends on ceramides and other lipids filling the spaces between skin cells. Ceramide Complex PE-F supplies sphingolipids, the precursors of the skin’s own ceramides, together with phospholipids in a fine aqueous dispersion. This helps replenish depleted barrier lipids, seal in moisture and protect against external irritants, supporting faster recovery of dry or sensitised skin.
