In the field of beauty and skincare, innovation and excellence are highly valued. This year, ViableCare Ceramide 50 has achieved a remarkable milestone by winning the prestigious InnoCosme Awards 2025 - Beauty Shine Annual Functional Ingredient Award.
InnoCosme Awards is a highly respected event in the beauty industry, known for its rigorous selection process and high standards. This year, ViableCare Ceramide 50 stood out from more than 110 entries. ViableCare Ceramide 50 demonstrates the potential of advanced ingredient solutions to meet consumers' growing demand for effective and safe skin care products.
Ceramides play a pivotal role in improving skin barrier function, moisturizing and overall skin health. And here come the benefits of high content microcapsule series ViableCare Ceramide 50 to meet the skin care needs of modern consumers:
High dispersion and rich content
One of the most significant challenges in formulating ceramide-based skincare products is achieving uniform dispersion. Ceramides are hydrophobic, meaning they do not dissolve well in water, leading to issues like clumping and precipitation, which can affect the stability and efficacy of the product.
ViableCare Ceramide 50 boasts a high dispersion characteristic, addressing the common issue of crystallization and separation. This innovative formulation ensures that the active ingredients remain stable and effective, providing consistent and reliable skincare experience. With a content level that leads the industry, this product stands out with more than 50% Ceramide NP, a concentration that is unmatched.
Simplicity in formulation
The simplicity of ViableCare Ceramide 50's formulation is another advantage. Comprising only four ingredients, it simplifies the product development process for manufacturers while ensuring potency and efficacy. This streamlined approach not only makes it easier to incorporate into various cosmetic systems but also enhances the overall performance of the final product.
Broad application and enhanced efficacy
The versatility of ViableCare Ceramide 50 is evident in its wide range of applications, suitable for use in creams, lotions, serums, and even cleansers. Studies have shown that with the same addition-amount, ViableCare Ceramide 50 outperforms the original powder, with efficacy improvements ranging from 113% to 738%. This significant enhancement makes it a preferred choice for formulations aiming to deliver rapid and noticeable results. In this context, four invention patents have been applied for, of which one patent has been already authorized.
Clinically proven repair and protection
Clinical studies have demonstrated the remarkable ability of ViableCare Ceramide 50 to repair skin's keratin layer. Using a 3D skin model induced by SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), ViableCare Ceramide 50 has shown to improve the skin's keratin structure, with effects comparable to, and even surpassing, those of the repair agent WY14643. This capability is further supported by its ability to promote the expression of key barrier proteins such as Caspase-14, FLG, and LOR, which are crucial for maintaining skin's natural defenses.
Reduced inflammation and improved skin health
Inflammation is a common issue in skin health, and ViableCare Ceramide 50 has been shown to effectively lower the levels of inflammatory factors. The product significantly reduces the content of interleukin IL-1α and prostaglandin PGE2, providing relief to inflamed and irritated skin.
Human studies confirm efficacy
Human trials involving 17 participants have further validated the benefits of ViableCare Ceramide 50. The product has been shown to significantly repair the skin barrier, enhance the water content of the stratum corneum, reduce trans-epidermal water loss, and lower the redness index of the skin. These findings underscore the product's potential in addressing common skin concerns such as dryness, sensitivity, and aging.
Superior to liposomes
In comparison to liposomes, ViableCare Ceramide 50 has proven to be superior in terms of soothing and repairing effects when used at the same levels of Ceramide NP. This superiority positions ViableCare Ceramide 50 as a leading ingredient in the skincare industry.
In conclusion, ViableCare Ceramide 50 represents a breakthrough in ceramide-based skincare, offering numerous benefits that make it a standout ingredient in any formulation. With high dispersion without precipitation, a high content of ceramides, a simple formula, wide application, and stronger efficacy, it provides formulators with the tools they need to create highly effective, stable, and versatile products. Consumers, in turn, can enjoy the enhanced skin benefits that come from a more concentrated and efficacious ceramide product.
While the cosmetic industry continues to evolve, Viablife's achievement at InnoCosme Awards 2025 reaffirms its position as a leader in developing efficacious cosmetic ingredients. As the exclusive distribution partner in DACH and Denmark, PolyNeo GmbH congratulates on this well-deserved recognition.
