Ceramides - Very important word for eczema suffers




Most people who suffer from eczema have a low level of ceramides on the top layer of their skin.  Ceramides are one of the major factors that help your skin to retain moisture.  Ceramides are lipids (fats) naturally found in our skin to help our skin retain moisture.  Lack of ceramides causes dryiness of and disturbs the skin barrier. Applying natural oils that are rich in ceramides can help strengthen the skin barrier. Below is a list of ceramide rich oils.  Although there are lots of oils, these are ones that have high concentrates of ceramide.   

·         safflower oil  

·         grapeseed oil

·         poppyseed oil

·         sunflower oil

·         hemp oil

·         canola oil

·         wheat germ oil

When selecting a body oil for your little one, make sure that it primarily contains ceramide rich oils. Naturally Me’s Eczema Oil is made of safflower oil, grapeseed oil, sunflower oil and canola oil.
