Protective coating for the skin
The Skin Lipid Matrix consists of skin-like lipids (fatty substances) and forms a protective layer over your skin. This helps it to restore the skin barrier.
WHAT EXACTLY IS THE SKIN LIPID MATRIX? Protective shield for your skin barrier
Your skin has the important task of protecting you from pollutants from the environment, UV rays, bacteria, allergens and climate and temperature fluctuations. The lamellar lipid layer in your skin, called the extracellular lipid matrix, plays a key role in this. It is a kind of barrier that prevents harmful things from the outside getting in. If it is unstable, your skin can become dry and sensitive. The Skin Lipid Matrix (SLM) helps to restore this natural protective function. It mimics the lamellar structure of the extracellular matrix to protect the skin from moisture loss.

WHAT CAN THE SKIN LIPID MATRIX DO? Healthy skin needs a functioning barrier
The skin is the largest organ in our body. Its outermost layer consists of two parts: corneocytes (non-nucleated cells) and a lamellar lipid double layer (extracellular lipid matrix) of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids. The composition and organisation of this natural lipid matrix is fundamental to the functioning of your skin barrier. It regulates the skin’s water balance and protects it from environmental influences. This is precisely where SLM comes in for support: it supplies new skin lipids as soon as the lipid layer is disturbed and there is too little fat. This protects your skin from drying out.
