National Ceramides Day is observed every year on August 13. It celebrates the key role ceramides play in keeping the skin barrier strong and healthy. First introduced to skincare by Elizabeth Arden over 35 years ago, ceramides are natural lipids that help retain moisture, protect against environmental stressors, and support resilient, youthful-looking skin. The day spotlights the skincare innovation behind ceramide science and encourages people worldwide to help restore their skin#s natural balance. It can be observed with a "Barrier Health Moment" by reviewing routines, learning about ceramides, and choosing products that strengthen defenses, plus workshops, tutorials, and social media and in-store events. National Ceramides Day was created by Arden in 2025 to educate and empower barrier health.
