About this ingredient

Ceramide NP is a synthetic ceramide that mimics natural ceramides found in the skin's stratum corneum, functioning as a humectant and emollient. It strengthens the skin barrier, enhances hydration, and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL). It is particularly effective in moisturizers and barrier-repair formulations for sensitive, dehydrated, or compromised skin.
