What's the consensus on ceramides?
I thought about adding them to my current skin formula, but not sure if they're lipophilic or hydrophilic or where to obtain them. I want to add it if it's worthwhile. Otherwise I might just wait till this test is over in 60 days and use CereVe.
Currently I use a hyaluronic acid gel that I made. It contains a derivative of vitamin C intended for topical use. I also added N-Acetyl-Carnosine as an experiment. I also add Nicotinamide Riboside before each application, also experimental. I know NR is unstable after about 6 hrs in water so I have to add it each time I apply. I'm trying this instead of the regular niacinamide that a lot of skin creams have now.
The other thing I use is an argan oil solution infused with pterostilbene, honokiol and rosemary extract. I'm not sure how well it all dissolves in the oil when heated without having it tested but I do know they're all lipophilic. Some settles to the bottom but you can definitely smell the RA in the oil. It has a very distinct rosemary smell. I also apply it to other areas of my body to see if I get improved elasticity in those areas like my belly, and also to my hair. At the very least argan oil is great for hair but I wanna see what happens when it's infused with the other extracts.
