Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a ceramide and / or glucosylceramide production accelerator or a moisturizing agent. Background technique
[0002] Ceramide, one of the sphingolipids, exists in the stratum corneum of the skin and accounts for about 50% of the intercellular lipids in the stratum corneum. Sphingolipid is a general term for complex lipids having a sphingosine skeleton. Glucosylceramide is a kind of sphingolipid formed by binding glucose to ceramide. The ceramide synthesized by epidermal cells is temporarily stored in the form of glucosylceramide or sphingomyelin; it is then excreted out of the cell, where β-glucocerebrosidase (β-Glucocerebrosidase, also known as glucoside) Under the action of enzymes β-glucosidase and sphingomyelinase, it becomes ceramide again, thereby functioning as an intercellular lipid.
[0003] Conventionally, it has been known that sphingolipids such as ceramide, glucosylceramide, and galactosylceramide have effec...
