Ceramides are commonly studied and developed in the cosmetics industry as ingredients that help a moisturized skin and strengthen a skin barrier. In this study, we determined how much great effects the moisturing cream containing a ceramide, obtained from evening primrose oil instead of using a common synthetic ceramide, made on the changes in moisturizing and transdermal water loss of skin. The result showed that the cream with a ceramide showed much better results than the cream without a ceramide at the skin moisture resistance and transdermal water loss of skin.
