ceratiq has been the subject of three clinical studies - all of which have shown improvements to skin compared to placebo. The first two studies focused on skin hydration.
A 2018 clinical featuring 64 women (average age 55.8 years old) focused on several anti-aging skin factors – most notably hydration and anti-wrinkle efficacy. The subjects received either 350 mg of ceratiq oil or the placebo for 12 weeks. In the ceratiq group, wrinkles were significantly and visibly reduced from 8 weeks (p < 0.001), compared to the placebo. The wrinkle reduction was visible for 88% of women after 12 weeks. The results demonstrated that skin was better hydrated after just 4 weeks. The persistence of gains in hydration and wrinkle reduction was demonstrated for two additional months after supplementation had concluded. Compared to the placebo, ceratiq was shown to offer 3 times the improvement in wrinkle visibility, 2.75 times the improvement in facial hydration and 5 times the improvement of radiance.
40 women (mean age of 40.5 years) took ceratiq powder 80 mg per day for one month. Corneometry, dermatological evaluation, and self-assessment showed ceratiq to be well-tolerated at this dose, with a trend towards increased skin hydration, including improved skin on the legs (p = 0.15), improved skin softness (p=0.05), and a decrease in skin desquaation (p = 0.06).

ceratiq is made from the lipid fraction of kernels of wheat - a specially cultivated, sustainably harvested non-GMO wheat grain grown in France and Europe. It has been selected for its lipid content and its compositional consistency.
PLT innovation partner Robertet has developed a high-tech 4-step process to create ceratiq. The first two steps consist of lipid extraction and protein separation. Part 3 and 4 are filtration and concentration operations resulting in the final product.
ceratiq is produced at a dedicated facility in Grasse, near the Mediterranean coast of France – the heart of the French perfume industry. The production site is ISO 9001 and FSSC 22000 certified. It is available in an organic version.
Every aspect of ceratiq’s production is evaluated with sustainability and social responsibility in mind – from the growing and harvesting of our wheat-based starting materials, to its production in our Grasse facility. Water and energy use are minimized in the process.
By-products from the ceratiq production process are being used in many important ways. Some of it is a source of protein in animal feed. More is up-cycled as wheat peptides in the production of shampoos.
ceratiq® quality is controlled by Robert’s laboratory and by independent laboratories in France and in the USA. To ensure a consistently high-quality product, the primary active ingredients – glucosylceramide, ceramides and DGDG – are continually analyzed by validated methodologies. Testing for pesticides and gluten-free conformity is also performed on every batch of ceratiq.
ceratiq is the only source of natural ceramides on the market with a New Dietary Ingredient on file with the U.S. FDA with the authorized claim “Helps maintain healthy skin hydration.” It is approved for sale in the demanding South Korean beauty market. The ingredient, which was named Ingredient of the Year in the Healthy Aging Category by Nutraingredients-USA in 2018.
