Effects and applications of rice ceramide in rice bran extract

2025.05.08

Ceramide is a lipid component naturally present in the stratum corneum of the skin, accounting for about 50% of intercellular lipids. It is essential for maintaining the skin barrier function, locking in moisture, and resisting external stimuli. Rice ceramide is a plant-derived ceramide extracted from rice bran extract. Its structure is similar to the body's own ceramide, and it has good biocompatibility and skin care effects.
