A history of traditional use validated by scientific study

A skin barrier study in dogs documented increased trans-epidermal water loss in the inguinal skin of dogs compared with healthy controls. Protecting the skin barrier of companion animals appears to be especially important, especially for those experiencing inflammation.

Research in humans has shown that function of the lipid barrier of the stratum corneum is impaired in common skin conditions. Studies also document a deficiency of ceramides in the stratum corneum in these groups. Ceramides are the most abundant type of lipid found in this layer of the epidermis.

A randomized controlled clinical trial in humans evaluated the efficacy of ceratiq on skin hydration and on overall wrinkle reduction. Subjects received either 350 mg of ceratiq oil or placebo daily for 12 weeks, with 8 weeks of follow-up. Skin hydration was significantly increased in subjects taking ceratiq compared to those taking placebo. Skin roughness and radiance were also significantly improved in the ceratiq group compared to placebo group. And in an adjunct study, a higher collagen content was measured in UV-irradiated skin explants treated with ceratiq compared to the untreated ones.

ORIGIN STORY & INSIGHTS

Beauty from the fields of Southern Europe

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.

4-Step Process

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.

Produced near the Mediterranean Coast of France

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.

Sustainable and socially responsible

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.

Nothing goes to waste

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.
