Phyto-ceramidyl Omega N

PHYTO-CERAMIDYL OMEGA N, a complete active ingredient for the advanced care of weak, dry and sensitive skin.

It is a concentrated combination of two elements with vital function at the preservation of the skin’s barrier function:
a high concentration of Poly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) obtained from botanical source and natural origin ceramides in an olive oil-based carrier for exceptional skin bioavailability.

It contains an extraordinarily high concentration of Omega 3 (around 31%), Omega 6 (around 20%) and Omega 9 (around 6%), the essential fatty-acids which cannot be produced by our body. The Ceramides (5%) are of high purity and are precursors of the ceramides found at the stratum corneum.

BioTrade refers to those activities of collection, production, transformation and commercialization of raw materials derived from native biodiversity under the criteria of environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Sensitive skin is common, especially in childhood.

Sensitive skin usually has a weak barrier function which leads to high TEWL and easy penetration of environmental irritants. Most of the times, this is due to a deficiency of skin lipids (ceramides and free fatty acids).
The skin loses its capacity to retain water, so it is dry, itchy and looks rough, exfoliated and inflamed.
Tightness sensation and loss of comfort and brightness are usual.

Sensitive skin is also characterized by excessive reaction to external and internal aggressions. It is a thin or a fine-textured skin.
Sebaceous secretion is decreased, so the skin protection is not adequate. It reacts quickly to both heat and cold; therefore, it sunburns and windburns easily. It is commonly dry, delicate and prone to allergic reactions. Temperature changes, UV exposition, some detergents, inappropriate cosmetics and alcohol can all cause irritation, leaving the skin red and blotchy, with visible surface veins.

Phyto-Ceramidyl Omega N benefits on dry and sensitive skin

  • Replenishment of the epidermal lipids (skin ceramides)

  • Less permeability of the stratum corneum to exogenous irritants

  • Reduction of skin exfoliation and itchiness

  • Improvement of the skin brightness

  • The skin is softer, smoother and healthier

  • Reinforcement of the skin barrier function, resulting in skin elasticity and comfort

  • Reduction of Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL)

  • Increase in elasticity: reduction of tightness sensation

  • The skin is less reactive

fraction-min

Highly purified fraction

Olive glycerides from Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, are a highly purified fraction of olive oil composed of 75% triglycerides and 25% di-glycerides.

fatty-acids-min

Natural fatty acids

Olive glycerides provide a light skin feel. Due to their natural fatty acids' composition, they act as a carrier for ceramides into the skin’s lipid layer.

skin-barrier-min

Regulating skin barrier

Ceramides provide improved adhesion among corneocytes, thus regulating skin barrier for long-term water retention.
