CERACUTE® Series – Ceramide‑Mimicking Functional Polymers for Anti‑Aging Care

About the CERACUTE® Series

CERACUTE® is NOF’s original series of ceramide‑mimicking functional polymers designed to support the skin barrier and provide visible anti‑aging benefits.
By structurally imitating natural ceramides—the major components of intercellular lipids—CERACUTE® exhibits high affinity to skin and forms a flexible polymer network on the surface.

This biomimetic polymer network gently contracts as it dries, helping to soften the appearance of wrinkles while enhancing skin elasticity.
Unlike rigid film formers, CERACUTE® delivers firmness with a natural, comfortable feel, making it suitable for both skin‑care and hair‑care applications.

Core Technology – Ceramide‑Mimicking Polymer Network

  • Ceramide‑like molecular structure inspired by intercellular lipids
  • Formation of a flexible polymer network on skin and hair surfaces
  • Network contraction provides a visible lifting and wrinkle‑softening effect
  • High affinity and safety due to biomimetic design

This unique technology enables CERACUTE® to regenerate softness and resilience while avoiding the tight, uncomfortable feel associated with conventional film‑forming polymers.

Product Lineup

Grade Primary Use Key Benefits
CERACUTE®‑F Skin care Anti‑wrinkle film formation; supports skin elasticity
CERACUTE®‑L / LL Skin care Flexible lifting effect; wrinkle‑reduction performance
CERACUTE®‑V Hair care Volume enhancement; cuticle smoothing; improved combability
CERACUTE®‑G Hair care Natural shine; enhanced surface and internal reflection; non‑sticky feel

Each grade is optimized for specific cosmetic applications while sharing the same ceramide‑mimicking polymer concept.
