Why Ceramides Matter: Repairing Your Skin Barrier with GUNILLA® Plant-Based Skincare

Why Ceramides Matter: Strengthen Your Skin Barrier with Aloe-Based Skincare

Gunilla of Sweden Ceramides chart

Ceramides are vital lipids naturally found in your skin’s outer layer. They form a protective barrier that locks in moisture and defends against environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution, and harsh cleansers. When your barrier is compromised, moisture escapes and irritants seep in—leading to dryness, redness, sensitivity, and breakouts.

What Weakens Your Skin Barrier?

  • Cold, dry climates
  • Harsh or foaming cleansers
  • Bubble baths and long hot showers
  • Traditional bar soaps
  • Prolonged water exposure

Can You Repair a Damaged Skin Barrier?

Yes—restoration is possible. Using skincare products rich in active ceramides and formulated with organic aloe vera (instead of water) allows deeper absorption and faster results. Aloe contains lignin, a plant compound that delivers nutrients deep into skin layers, maximizing the performance of ceramides and other actives.
