CERAMIDE NP
The natural epidermal barrier is partly composed of lipidic layers that regulate transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and maintain overall moisture balance. These layers consist of ceramides (40%), free fatty acids (25%) and cholesterol (25%). Ceramides are lipid molecules that naturally occur in the skin and play a crucial role in keeping the skin hydrated, preventing moisture loss, and maintaining the skin barrier, which protects against environmental damage.
Ceramide NP, also known as Ceramide 3, is a dermo-mimetic ceramide, one of several types found naturally in the skin. It acts as a biocompatible “cement” that bonds skin cells in a fluid, elastic mode, enhancing skin smoothness and elasticity. It is used for its skin-repairing and moisturizing properties, making it especially valuable for treating dry, sensitive, or damaged skin. Ceramide NP helps restore the skin barrier, improving skin elasticity and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Research shows that formulations containing Ceramide NP improve the look and feel of dry or dehydrated skin due to its water retention properties. This active ingredient reinforces the skin’s barrier, helping it resist external stressors. In both in vitro and in vivo studies, Ceramide NP has been shown to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and increase smoothness. In vitro tests demonstrate its protective effect against pollutant-induced oxidative stress, while in vivo tests confirm improvements in skin softness, elasticity, and a reduction in wrinkle number and depth.
