Abstract
Disclosed are compositions for skin care and their medicinal uses. The compositions are identical in lipid constituents and structural properties to that of human stratum corneum. They comprise the major constituents for the lipid lamellar of the stratum corneum, including ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids, the major constituents for epidermal cell membranes, including phospholipids, and physiologically active substances, including phytosphingosine and its derivatives. Without causing side effects, the cream composition for skin care is of much better skin penetration and water-retention capacity than are conventional compositions comprised of ceramide and other components in forms different from those of human skin. In addition to providing inhibitory activity against skin microorganisms, the cream composition brings about an improvement in the wrinkle condition of the skin, so that it can be applied to cosmetics. Also, it can be used as a medicinal material for the therapeutic treatment of inflammation, such as thermic erythema caused by IR and/or UV light.
