Ceramide is More Effective than Shea Butter in Maintaining Skin Acidity

Background: Skin is the largest organ that functions as a physical barrier. Stable skin pH can maximize its function. Ceramide and shea butter cream have components maintain in stratum corneum. Purpose: The aim to compare ceramide effects on pH. Methods: experimental analytic study was performed 30 respondents. measurement done before applying creams days after cream. applied right volar left volar. Comparative analysis with paired t-test used significant value of p<0.05. Results: average 4,61±1,19, while 5,30±1.07. derivation application 1,57±1,26, 0,88±1,14. showed lower than significantly, p=0.025. Conclusion: intervention using for could level. more be considered homeostasis
