SK-influx® is a skin-identical lipid (ceramide) complex ingredient that restores the skin's protective barrier function. It is a concentrated formulation consisting of a multi-lamellar (membrane) system resembling the structure of the lipid barrier in the Stratum Corneum. Mimicking the skin's biological formation process effectively replenishes the skin with its own lipids.

This rich mix of ceramides, cholesterol, free fatty acids, and phytosphingosine makes it an ideal ingredient for personal care products with unique skin-restoring and recovery capabilities. In addition, the topical application of products with SK-influx® will enhance moisturization and protection, ultimately leading to less sensitive and hydrated skin.

SK-influx® is a multi-lamellar system in which the skin-identical lipids are present in a liquid crystalline phase. The phenomenon of lipid exchange between the liquid crystalline membranes has been demonstrated in many cell systems. Because of the similarity with the stratum corneum lamellae, it optimally supplements the skin with lacking lipids.

It is suitable for all skin types, but depending on the skin type and desired effect, SK-influx® can be used with concentrations varying from 1 - 15 %. However, an average 3 - 5 % dosage is recommended for typical applications such as aging and dry skin.

SK-influx® is suitable for various applications, from oil-in-water creams to liquid lotions, for moisturization, anti-aging and anti-wrinkle effects, skin repair, and protection.
