Speaker: Eric Ginsburg, Evonik
Abstract: In recent years, ceramides have begun evolving into a category that is cherished and appreciated by consumers. While most applications of ceramides focus on replenishing the skin barrier with skin identical lipids, researchers have been exploring further functionalities with bioactive ceramides and specific ceramides for hair care applications.
In this talk, we will dig deeper into the fascinating world of the solution to the skin barrier, and a well-respected hero ingredient that is ceramides. Together, we will explore these molecules from different angles and focus on consumer expectations, scientific background information, and production strategies that utilize the power of biotechnology, as well as different modes of action leading to diverse benefits with proven efficacy.
