[Misc] Consolidated List of Ceramide Products

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hello!Have been trying to understand ceramides lately, done a bit of research but as there are a lot of detailed posts on them already am going to link out so you can read up more on the details:Read about what are ceramides, the ideal ratio, SK-Influx compoundGreat summaryOther links: Benefits of each ceramide, Alternate names for ceramides, Korean ceramide compoundsNow that you've read those, I've compiled a list of Ceramide products from across the world at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pSu9Mz7bDe_Rrb1PkwbdkRpG-hbgno-ffHwRjf03GGQ/edit?usp=sharingTo distinguish between the types of Ceramides:Ceramide 1 = Ceramide EOS. Helps skin retain water and protects it from environmental factors.Ceramide 2 = Cermamide NS = N-stearoyl sphinganine. Strong water-retention function.Ceramide 3 = Ceramide NP = N-stearoyl phytosphingosine. Helps skin retain water and fade small wrinkles.Ceramide 4 = Ceramide EOH. Fortifies skin barrier.Ceramide 5 = Ceramide AS. Helps skin retain water and fade small wrinkles, while stimulating turnover.Ceramide 6 = Ceramide AP = α-hydroxy-N-stearoylphytosphingosine. Helps skin retain water and fade small wrinkles, while stimulating turnover.Ceramide 6 II = Caproyl sphingosine. Stimulates turnover and helps fade small wrinkles.Ceramide 7 = Ceramide AH. Control of cell growth and division, and keeping the balance of skin flora.Ceramide 8 = Ceramide NHCeramide 9 = Ceramide EOPCeramide E = Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide and HexadecanamideThen there are pseudoceramides, phytoceramides - most ceramides are synthetically made in labs so new compounds get a fancy new name.Some notes:You'll notice manufacturers: SK-Influx is referenced in the first reference link it's by a company called Evonik, and as Ceramide tech originated in Korea - MLE is by the NeoPharm group in Korea, AmorePacific has their own version used across the group companies.I've linked out to the ingredient lists - please lookout for where the ceramides lie - a lot of products have ceramides towards the bottom of the list so am unsure of their efficacy.One thing that I am still trying to figure out is - is the perfect ratio better eg. you have Ceramol 311 and Ceradan (I luckily have access to both) which say they use the 3:1:1 golden ratio (cholesterol: ceramide: free fatty acid ratio) but use only one type of Ceramide (3 (NP) or Hydroxypropyl Bispalmitamide MEA) or is having more different types of ceramides better? Has anyone come across any research/experience on it? Or I might end up doing a test when I can get some of these products.Hope this helps, and if I've missed any Ceramide products do let me know and I'll add them!Note: Am currently in India and have cross-posted a local version at https://www.reddit.com/r/IndianSkincareAddicts/comments/jhtnm0/consolidated_list_of_ceramide_products/
