INGREDIENT
Phytosphingosine
Ceramide Precursor, Antimicrobial & Barrier Repair Active
What is Phytosphingosine?
Phytosphingosine is a naturally occurring sphingolipid found in the stratum corneum and is a key precursor in the biosynthesis of ceramides. It plays a critical role in maintaining skin barrier integrity, supporting lipid organization, and contributing to the skin’s innate defense mechanisms. Due to its multifunctional properties, phytosphingosine is widely used in advanced dermatological formulations targeting acne-prone, sensitive, and barrier-compromised skin.
What Does It Do For The Skin?
04
Helps reduce visible
inflammation
Contributes to improved skin comfort by helping reduce the appearance of redness and irritation in sensitive or stressed skin.
05
Supports hydration
balance
Improved barrier function helps enhance moisture retention and maintain optimal skin hydration levels.
06
Improves skin texture
and smoothness
Helps refine skin texture and works synergistically with ceramides to support overall skin condition and a healthier-looking complexion.
01
Supports ceramide
synthesis
Phytosphingosine acts as a precursor for ceramide production, helping restore and maintain the skin’s lipid barrier.
02
Enhances skin
barrier function
Supports proper lipid organization in the stratum corneum, helping improve barrier integrity and reduce transepidermal water loss.
03
Provides antimicrobial
support
Exhibits antimicrobial properties that help support clearer-looking, acne-prone skin.
