Ceramides comprise 35%–40% of the binding matrix that maintains moisture balance and protects the surface of your skin.1 These skin-nourishing oils are an important lipid component of the skin’s membrane, where they provide protection from the elements and lock in moisture.2-5 But one of the challenges of maintaining supple, healthy skin is that ceramide levels naturally decrease as we age!6

Using wheat oils as a natural moisturizer

The ceramides that give younger skin its supple appearance are identical to those found in wheat. That’s why wheat-derived oils have been used topically as natural moisturizers for centuries. However, you can’t get enough ceramides from topically applied wheat germ oil to have a long-term impact on your skin’s appearance.

What’s worse, you probably won’t be able to obtain enough wheat ceramides from your diet to make a difference, either. The good news is we’ve combined these skin nourishing oils in a proprietary, highly concentrated ceramide Ceratiq® blend.

Clinically researched Ceratiq® formula

What makes Skin Restoring Phytoceramides with Ceratiq® such an excellent complement to topical products you may already use? Japanese women have had access to ceramides as a functional food since 2000. 7 Ceramides were shown to be so effective that they’re now approved as a dietary supplement by the FDA.

Study verifies improvements in hydration and comfort

In one study, 95% of participants taking 200 mg of Ceratiq® a day reported dramatic improvement in the look and feel of their skin and exhibited improved skin hydration, with results verified by electrochemical analysis. Better yet, the study participants who experienced itching at the onset of the study reported sharp decreases or completely eliminated itching by the study’s end.8
