CERAMIDE NP (CERAMIDE IIIB) is a naturally occurring lipid and major component of the stratum corneum (outer skin layer). Levels of CERAMIDE NP decrease with advancing age. CERAMIDE NP is widely used as a moisturizer in cosmetic products because of its hydrating function. Interactions have been found with ceramide 1, synergistically improving the skin barrier function in humans, i.e. better skin hydration and less transepidermal water loss. There are no safety concerns for cosmetic products containing less than 1% CERAMIDE NP.

Function:
Efficacy feature
1.Moisturising action
Ceramide NP binds to the natural lipids of the skin cells, increasing the skin's moisture content and preventing it from drying out.
2.Anti-ageing action
Ceramide NP promotes the regeneration and repair of skin cells and the synthesis of collagen and elastin fibres, thus slowing down the ageing process.
3.Anti-inflammatory action
Ceramide NP reduces the skin's inflammatory response and alleviates skin irritation and sensitization.
4.Nutritional effects
Ceramide NP contains a variety of amino acids and other nutrients that nourish the skin, improving its health and radiance.

Efficacy feature
Phytosphingosine is an essential component of moisture retention and barrier function and is a key substance in maintaining the skin's natural defences.
1.Natural inflammation regulator
Phytosphingosine has a soothing, calming, desensitizing and anti-allergic effect, eliminating redness, itching, pimples, peeling and other allergies, strengthening the skin's resistance, relieving dryness/rashes/itching/allergies caused by seasonal or environmental changes, providing deeper repair and conditioning for sensitive skin and strengthening the skin's own defences.
2.Antioxidant action
Phytosphingosine has a significant protective effect against free radical damage to the skin caused by UV exposure, reduces collagen breakdown and keratin build-up and improves skin roughness.
