CCC Prolipid
CCC Prolipid is a plant-derived lipid complex used in UK skincare and lip care formulas to deeply moisturise, repair and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier. It mimics the skin’s own lipid structure, making it a popular choice in premium creams, balms and serums for dry or compromised skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare CCC Prolipid works by delivering a carefully balanced blend of ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids that closely resemble the intercellular lipids found in the stratum corneum. This helps replenish the skin’s lipid matrix, reducing transepidermal water loss and restoring barrier function for softer, smoother and more resilient skin and lips.
