Surface and In-depth Lipids by the Cerco
26 April 2018
Cutaneous Lipids contribute to the main role of the skin: its barrier function. Their presence in sufficient quantity limits the drying of the skin
and preserves the Hydrolipidic balance. They have an undeniable impact on skin ageing but also on comfort. Cosmetics come to preserve, strengthen the lipidic film but also to compensate for the shortcomings.
Direct measurements such as Sebumetry, Sebutape, Raman measurement, and epidermal lipid assays enable the lipid quantification.
Other techniques allow to evaluate the appearance or properties of a skin, deficient in lipids and then once rebalanced: Tewl, hydration rate, desquamation, surface tension (wettability), clinical scoring and scales Self-assessment.
