A simplified epidermal model represents the skin barrier as a bricks-and-mortar structure, with lipids providing mortar between the cellular bricks. Lipids in moisturisers are thought to intercalate into the lipid bilayer and provide benefit, possibly by influencing the activity of enzymes responsible for correct formation of the lipid barrier, as well as by forming an emollient and occlusive layer to help prevent water loss.
