ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are methods and products such as wet wipes and absorbents capable of providing a skin health benefit when utilized in the intended fashion. More specifically, the products described herein comprise an agent, such as a botanical extract, which is capable of increasing the activity of sphingomyelinase according to a Sphingomyelinase Activity Screening Test and/or decreasing the activity of ceramidase according to a Ceramidase Activity Screening Test. By increasing the activity of sphingomyelinase and/or decreasing the activity of ceramidase, the agents in combination with the products described herein are able to maintain or increase the level of ceramides in the skin leading to improved skin health.
