About this ingredient

Ceramide AP is a synthetic ceramide that mimics naturally occurring ceramides found in the skin's stratum corneum, functioning as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It helps restore and strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and reduce transepidermal water loss. It is widely used in moisturizers, serums, and barrier-repair products, particularly for sensitive, dry, or compromised skin.
