Glycoderm™

A liposomal organic moisturiser containing hyaluronic acid and natural blossom honey. Its structure promotes the rapid absorption of hyaluronic acid into the skin, providing deep hydration, helping to restore the skin’s lipid barrier function and supplying essential components that bind water to hydrate the skin. This complex is derived from natural sources, including organic blossom honey and plant lipids such as phospholipids and sphingolipids, supplemented with an organic hyaluronic acid extract. Lipids are naturally abundant in cell membranes and are among the main components of the upper layers of our skin. As we age, our skin loses these lipids. Lipids protect our skin against free radicals and microorganisms and act as a skin barrier. They retain the skin’s natural moisture, prevent water loss from its deeper layers and provide essential hydration, improving its moisture-retaining capacity. They help prevent skin ageing and maintain a youthful appearance. The ceramide complex stimulates the skin to produce more collagen.

The mechanism of action involves deep moisturising activity thanks to hyaluronic acid, which binds water in the skin, restoration of the lipid barrier through phospholipids, sphingolipids and ceramides, which make up to 50 % of the intercellular material in the stratum corneum, and antioxidant protection against free radicals. The liposomal structure ensures better penetration of active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin, supporting cell regeneration and moisture retention. The complex stimulates collagen production and strengthens the skin’s natural defences without an exfoliating effect, instead soothing irritated skin.

It is particularly recommended for dry, dehydrated, sensitive and mature skin, where lipids are lost with age, as well as for irritated or eczema-prone skin, where it strengthens the barrier and reduces moisture loss. Suitable for all skin types, including oily and acne-prone skin with a compromised barrier, as it soothes inflammation and prevents water loss without clogging pores.

A clinical study on Ceramosides™ (plant ceramides) demonstrated a 117 % improvement in hydration and a 24 % improvement in elasticity after 28 days of oral administration (Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 2011). Another study showed that topical application of ceramides in combination with cholesterol and fatty acids reduced transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by 20-30 % after 4 weeks, restoring the barrier (International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018).
