01. What is the skin barrier?

The skin barrier is the major function of stratum corneum which consists of corneous cell and intercellular lipids. It is located in the outermost layer of the skin, and it protects skin from the external environment. The skin barrier is an extremely important concept in skin care.

02. If skin barrier disrupted?

Disrupted skin barrier increases TEWL(trans-epidermal water loss) and penetration of external materials to

cause various skin troubles such as dryness, allergy, itching, stimulation, redness and so on.

03. Structure and function of Intercellular lamellar lipids

Intercellular lamellar lipids consist of 50% ceramides, 25% cholesterols and 10~20% fatty acids. They play major roles in maintaining barrier function and skin hydration.
