In a double-blind study, a commercially available physiological lipid mixture (containing ceramide 3) was found to promote barrier recovery in SLS-irritated and tape-stripped human skin, compared with the untreated control area. However, the barrier recovery was not superior to its placebo (petrolatum) (Figure 15.2).

Review with Pictures (in German)

I’d like to see a comparison between the Locobase product that more directly compares the lipid mixture vs. petrolatum. Perhaps a setup with the Locobase vs. an emulsion with the same water to petrolatum proportions would work.
