Rice Ceramides

Gluten free and extracted from rice, CeraLOK® is the crème de la crème of ceramide offerings in the ingredient marketplace. Manufactured in Japan, CeraLOK® is supported by statistically significant published human studies supporting potential claims for moisturizing, hydration, reduction in skin roughness, reduction in wrinkles and a whitening effect. Not all ceramide types and their subclasses are as efficacious for healthy skin as often purported. CeraLOK® is standardized to the most deeply studied and relevant ceramide type: Glucosyl Ceramides also referred to as Glycosphingolipids. CeraLOK® is uniquely further differentiated by the phytonutrient β-sitosterol-3-O-glucoside (BSG). BSG has been shown to positively affect the natural synthesis of ceramides in the skin. More research is being conducted on this key marker, but this differentiator is most likely key to making CeraLOK® the most efficacious ceramide source available.
