MC Actives’ innovative marine ingredient is composed of natural & microalgal human-like lipids that are found in the stratum corneum (ceramides NP, ceramides NS, ceramides NG, cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine and free fatty acids). Your skin barrier is your body's first line of defense, a sophisticated security system that locks in vital hydration and blocks out environmental threats. When compromised by factors like aging, pollution, and UV radiation, skin becomes vulnerable, leading to dryness, flakiness, and a weakened appearance.
Why Oceamides® is a Game-Changer for Your Formulations
Oceamides® is a cutting-edge, natural alternative of microalgal origin to synthetic ceramides. What makes it truly revolutionary is its precise blend of human-like lipids, including natural ceramides NP, NS and NG, designed to overcome key challenges in the cosmetic market:
- Natural & Vegan Origin: Unlike many synthetic, semi-synthetic or animal origin options, Oceamides® offers a truly natural, source.
- Formulation Advantages: Say goodbye to complex, high-temperature processing. Oceamides® is incredibly easy to formulate, ready to use in the aqueous phase at room temperature, saving you time and money. It can also be formulated at higher temperatures (up to 80°C) if needed, and its ability to be incorporated into the aqueous phase opens up possibilities for diverse product types like aqueous serums and mists, beyond traditional creams.
- Uncompromised Efficacy: Despite its natural origin, Oceamides® delivers superior efficacy compared to synthetic ceramides, ensuring robust cosmetic benefits for your customers.
Unrivalled Efficacy for Visible Results
Oceamides® boosts skin barrier function by providing human-like lipids, effectively thickening the skin barrier layer and sealing spaces between cells to prevent water loss. This not only boosts skin barrier function, reducing Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) and increasing moisture, but also enhances skin biomechanical properties like skin firmness or skin fatigue.
Clinical tests confirm its superior performance:
Clinical Study I demonstrated that Oceamides® at 0.5% in cream reduced TEWL in only 3 days by 15% in forehead, 9% in chin and 24% in cheeks.
Clinical Study II proved that Oceamides® is a substitute for synthetic ceramide NP to increase moisture, achieving a quicker effect (13% in only 2 hours). Both ceramides were assayed at 0.5% in the same formula (cream).
Clinical Study III showed that Oceamides® is a substitute for synthetic ceramide NP to increase skin firmness and reduce skin fatigue, after 28 days. Both ceramides were assayed at 0.5% in the same formula (cream).
These results unequivocally position Oceamides® as a natural, microalgal ingredient that can substitute synthetic ceramide NP, offering superior benefits and ease of use.
Elevate your cosmetic formulas with Oceamides® and offer your customers the gold standard in skin barrier protection and regeneration.
