Hair Care

European virgin brown hair was damaged by perming and bleaching followed by 10 treatment cycles consisting of washing of the hair tresseswith 8 % SLES solution followed by applications with a hair rinse containing 0.5 % Ceramide 3. Afterwards, the tensile strength was measured.The hair rinse containing Ceramide 3 restored approx. 35 % of the break stress lost when the hair was damaged by bleaching and perming.

Skin Care

Two Ceramide 3 formulations (0.05 % and 0.5 %), and a control product were applied on the forearms of volunteers twice/day for 7 consecutive days. One area remained untreated. The skin hydration was measured before application, and during the application period at 1, 3 and 7 days. After the application was ceased (day 7), the measurements were continued on day 8, 10 and 13. The water retention capacity of the skin was determined by measuring skin hydration using a corneometer. During the application week Ceramide 3 resulted in a statistically significant increase in water retention capacity of the skin compared to the Control. A dose-response effect with 0.05 % and 0.5 % Ceramide 3 was seen After the application was ceased, areas treated with the Control showed a rapid decrease in hydration. In contrast, Ceramide 3 showed a significantly longer lasting hydration, up to 6 days after the last application (day 13) of 0.5 % Ceramide 3
