Skin lipidomics allows for detailed analysis of the lipid composition in skin tissues, providing knowledge about the skin’s structural integrity, barrier function, and metabolic processes within the skin. The skin is rich in various lipid classes, such as ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids.

These lipid classes are crucial in maintaining the skin’s barrier functions and overall health. In skin diseases, the lipid composition of the skin undergoes significant alterations, affecting barrier function, hydration, and inflammatory responses.

Lipotype Lipidomics analysis helps to identify specific lipid signatures associated with skin conditions, such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, and more. Lipid profiles can also provide information about disease mechanisms.

Lipid analysis of skin also supports the development of targeted skincare treatments and drug delivery systems, helping to improve skin health and restore balance in diseased or compromised skin.
