Japanese Yuzu Ceramide

Yuzu Ceramide is a breakthrough, plant-derived ceramide extracted from the Japanese Kito Yuzu fruit that mirrors the skin’s own lipids, delivering deep, long-lasting hydration and barrier repair. In a 4-week human trial, Yuzu Ceramide B lotion boosted stratum corneum moisture and reduced fine lines around the eyes, while in surfactant-challenge tests it accelerated barrier recovery—significantly lowering transepidermal water loss within hours and visibly smoothing rough, dry skin . At the cellular level, Yuzu peel fractions upregulate filaggrin and ceramide-synthesis enzymes, reinforcing your skin’s natural moisturizing factors for sustained comfort—even under UV stress.

Benefits of Yuzu Ceramide

Beyond hydration, Yuzu Ceramide offers soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits: it reduces redness and stinging in sensitive skin, integrates seamlessly into formulations as a ready-to-use liquid, and brings antioxidant co-metabolites for added skin-calming performance. As a quasi-drug–approved ingredient in Japan, it stands alongside traditional ceramides (NP, EOP) with the added advantage of a botanical origin and multifunctional benefits—hydration, barrier reinforcement, anti-wrinkle action, and calm in one.

Japanese patent JP 2006-022005 A describes the use of plant-derived ceramides to improve skin hydration and reduce roughness. The patent focuses on new active components from fermented plant constituents and/or plant extracts, along with a process for their production, preparations containing these components, and various applications. These plant-derived ceramides are shown to stimulate skin
metabolism, improve hydration, and enhance the overall feel of the skin. 

“Yuzu Ceramide—nature’s plant-powered ceramide that locks in 24-hour hydration, repairs your skin’s barrier, smooths fine lines, and soothes redness for radiant, resilient skin.”

YUZU Ceramide B is a moisturizing and anti-wrinkle ingredient derived from Yuzu fruit, mimicking natural ceramides found in human skin. It has been shown to enhance skin hydration, improve barrier function, and reduce wrinkles and hair damage through various tests. The product is approved for use as a quasi-drug in Japan and is listed in the IECIC 2015 inventory in China

Why Mystiqare chose Yuzu Ceramide vs. Generic Yuzu Extract

At Mystiqare, every ingredient decision is driven by our three pillars—ritual-inspired, science-backed, and efficacy-first. Here’s why we went with Yuzu Ceramide rather than a standard Yuzu fruit extract:

1.Patented, Skin-Native Lipid Structure

  • Human-mimicking ceramides: Ichimaru’s Yuzu Ceramide is enzymatically converted to match the chain lengths and head-group architecture of your skin’s own ceramides.
  • Barrier repair powerhouse: This precise match means it slots into the stratum corneum lipids seamlessly—boosting barrier integrity and reducing TEWL far more effectively than the general flavonoid-rich extracts from peel or pulp.

2. Clinically Validated Hydration & Resilience

  • Proven performance: In independent studies, Yuzu Ceramide demonstrated up to 30 % improved hydration retention over 24 hours and a significant reduction in transepidermal water loss, benefits you won’t get from a generic antioxidant extract alone.
  • Soothing & sensitivity relief: Its lipid-mimicking action calms irritation and redness—essential for busy, urban Indian skin facing heat, humidity, and pollution.

3. Superior Stability & Formulation Ease

  • Oil-soluble & shelf-stable: Unlike water-based extracts that can oxidize or degrade, this ceramide stays robust in emulsions—so your serums, creams, and sunscreens maintain full potency from first pump to last.
  • Consistent quality: The patented process delivers batch-to-batch uniformity in purity and activity—no guesswork, no variation.

4. Sustainable, Traceable Sourcing

  • Eco-responsible extraction: Ichimaru employs a solvent-free, low-energy enzymatic method that
    minimizes waste and preserves the integrity of the seed oil.
  • Full transparency: Each lot is traceable back to certified yuzu orchards, aligning with Mystiqare’s commitment to ethical, eco-conscious sourcing.

In Contrast, Generic Yuzu Extracts…

  • Are primarily rich in vitamin C, flavonoids and polyphenols (great antioxidants, but they don’t rebuild your skin’s lipid barrier).
  • Vary widely in potency, stability, and sourcing practices.
  • Offer “protection” but not the deep, lasting barrier repair that defines Mystiqare’s hydration philosophy.

The Mystiqare Difference: “Glow + Guard”

By choosing Yuzu Ceramide, Mystiqare ensures your skin not only glows with antioxidant support, but is truly guarded at the lipid level—delivering time-smart, science-proven hydration and resilience for working Indian women.
