Croda Beauty Actives unveils DS-Ceramide Y3S, a climate-adaptive fermented ceramide, demonstrating significant performance in skin barrier protection and hydration under various climatic conditions.
In response to the challenges posed by climatic variations on the skin, Croda Beauty Actives has developed DS-Ceramide Y3S, an IECIC-compliant, liposoluble active ingredient derived from fermentation. This product is part of the SphingoCare range, renowned for its skin-identical active ingredients.
In-depth clinical study
The efficacy of DS-Ceramide Y3S was evaluated through a clinical study involving specific temperature and humidity conditions to simulate different climates. Panels of testers, from regions such as South Korea and Italy, were exposed to temperate, dry and hot, dry and cold, as well as humid environments. These studies revealed that DS-Ceramide Y3S offers significant immediate skin resistance in dry and cold environments, while increasing skin hydration after seven days of daily use in humid conditions.
DS-Ceramide Y3S at a concentration of 0.5 % also increased skin hydration under normal (temperate) conditions by 31 % after two weeks compared with the initial state, and by 47 % in hot, dry environments, thus aligning its results with those of positive controls using 1 % hyaluronic acid.
Eco-responsibility and certifications
In line with sustainability values, DS-Ceramide Y3S is composed of 100 % substances of natural origin (according to ISO16128) and is approved by RSPO, Cosmos and Natrue. The product is also vegan-friendly and IECIC-compliant, ensuring its safe and responsible use worldwide.
