ceramide/CLA/cholesterol controlled-release skin barrier emulsion

A lipid-rich emulsion containing ceramide, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and cholesterol in an emollient base, with skin protective and healing activities. Upon topical application of the ceramide/CLA/cholesterol controlled-release skin barrier emulsion, the physiological lipids are delivered via a time-release system, and form a skin barrier. This maintains a moist wound and skin environment and enhances healing.
