Croda Beauty Actives introduces DS-Ceramide Y3S, an active ingredient designed to strengthen the skin barrier, responding to different climates thanks to an innovation derived from fermentation.
At the forefront of cosmetics research, Croda Beauty Actives announces the launch of DS-Ceramide Y3S. IECIC-compliant, this innovative product is derived from the fermentation process to align with the growing trend of «geoskincare», an approach that adapts skincare to its geographical and climatic context.
An asset for every climate
DS-Ceramide Y3S, a fat-soluble ingredient, has undergone a rigorous clinical study to assess its efficacy in different climatic conditions, covering temperate, arid and hot, cold and dry, and humid environments. These tests, carried out on panels in South Korea and Italy, showed that DS-Ceramide Y3S provides notable immediate skin resistance in dry and cold environments. It also offers cumulative benefits by increasing skin hydration after seven days of daily use in humid conditions. In normal (temperate) and hot, dry environments, DS-Ceramide Y3S at 0.5 % significantly improved skin hydration, with an increase of 31 % and 47 % respectively from baseline after two weeks, results comparable to those of a positive control with 1 % hyaluronic acid.
A commitment to naturalness and ethics
Part of the SphingoCare range, DS-Ceramide Y3S is made from 100 % ingredients of natural origin, in compliance with ISO16128. It is RSPO, Cosmos and Natrue certified, suitable for vegans and meets IECIC requirements. This new active ingredient enhances the skin's natural defense capacity, even in the harshest conditions.
With DS-Ceramide Y3S, Croda Beauty Actives strengthens its position in the market for skin care products adapted to climatic variations, underlining the importance of developing innovative products adapted to the current needs of the global consumer.
