Ceramide NP
Also known as: Ceramide 3
What it is
One of the most common types of ceramides found naturally in the skin's barrier. Ceramides are lipid molecules essential for barrier function and hydration.
How it works
Ceramides are a major component of the skin's extracellular matrix, forming a protective layer that prevents moisture loss and protects against environmental aggressors. Topical application helps to replenish natural ceramide levels, restoring barrier function, improving hydration, and reducing skin sensitivity.
