-
Ceramide EOP
MolecularEntityCeramide subtype that helps anchor the barrier's crucial long periodicity phase structure alongside Ceramide EOS.
-
Ceramide EOS
MolecularEntityCritical ceramide subtype comprising about 10% of total ceramides, essential for forming the barrier's most important structural element.
-
Cholesterol
MolecularEntityBarrier lipid comprising ~25% of the stratum corneum matrix. Essential for forming both lamellar phases and regulating desquamation through its sulfate cycle.
-
Corticosterone
MolecularEntityA secondary glucocorticoid in humans, produced by the adrenal cortex and elevated during rapid metabolic change, contributing to hair follicle stress and potential shedding.
-
Cortisol
MolecularEntityStress hormone that breaks down collagen, inhibits barrier lipid production, and measurably delays skin recovery when chronically elevated.
