What are Ceramides?

Ceramides are a type of lipid, or fat molecule, naturally found in the skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum. They make up about 50% of our epidermis and play a crucial role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function by keeping it hydrated and protected from external stressors like pollution and UV rays. Ceramides work by filling in the gaps between skin cells, creating a strong and protective barrier—a vital component for strong, healthy hair.

What are Ceramosides?

Ceramosides specifically refer to ceramides derived from plant sources, which can be consumed orally as a supplement.

Agent Nateur developed holi (radiance) with ceramosides, a patented extract of phytoceramides and DGDG from wheat, and gluten-free. These ceramosides help restore the skin’s natural ceramide levels from within, thanks to a unique French extraction process that concentrates the lipidic portion of the wheat kernel and removes gluten. They are specifically designed to enhance the skin’s natural ceramide levels and improve its moisture retention abilities, supporting the skin’s structure and function.

Ceramosides can also help prevent the breakdown of collagen by enhancing ceramide production. Collagen supports hair follicles by fighting free radicals, potentially preventing age-related hair thinning, and may even slow the graying of hair.

Hair Study from Our French Supplier

As we age, we lose ceramides, our moisture barrier weakens, and changes occur in both skin texture and hair health. Taking ceramosides orally delivers new ceramides to the skin via the bloodstream, helping to restore the water barrier, stop trans-epidermal water loss, replenish the hair cuticle, and strengthen and hydrate your hair.

A hair study conducted by our French supplier showcases the wonders of the French ceramides used in holi (radiance). The study was a gold-standard, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial on 66 women (18-65 years old) with different hair types, suffering from acute telogen effluvium (hair shedding lasting for less than six months), brittle, and thin hair. Significant results were observed after just 56 days of supplementation.

Here are the findings:

• Significantly increased the density of hair in the anagen phase (the active growth phase of the hair follicle) by 6.3% versus placebo in less than 2 months (4.6% vs baseline).
• Significantly increased hair growth by 12.5% in 84 days.
• Significantly increased the number of new hairs versus placebo in 56 and 84 days. At 84 days, the number of new hairs was 11,000 versus 4,000 in the placebo group.
• Significantly decreased hair fall by 7.2% versus placebo in the telogen phase at 56 days (-18% vs baseline).
• Significantly improved hair’s resistance to breakage and increased hair elasticity.

The results from this study highlight a significant breakthrough in understanding the impact of ceramides on both hair and scalp health. As a cutting-edge ingredient in promoting hair growth, ceramides have been identified as catalysts for stimulating the anagen phase, showcasing their potential to advance hair growth significantly. Ceramides are vital contributors to the internal well-being of hair follicles, helping to maintain your hair’s structure and integrity. Think of them as the unsung heroes behind strong, resilient hair.

Try taking a scoop of our holi (radiance) a day to elevate your hair care journey. It’s perfect when mixed into a glass of hot or cold water, preferably with a splash of lemon, or blended into a fruit or plant-based milk smoothie. With a blend of MSM and powerful ceramides, it’s an absolute game-changer for thicker and healthier hair. Plus, adding it to your drink alongside holi (mane) accelerates the perks.
