What Is Glycolipid?
Glycolipids are molecules composed of a sugar (glyco) attached to a lipid (fat), naturally found in cell membranes. In skincare, they help support the skin barrier and provide moisturising benefits while aiding in cellular communication.
These amphiphilic molecules can interact with both water-loving and oil-loving parts of the skin, making them effective for maintaining barrier integrity and skin moisture balance.
