Ceramide, also known as sphingolipids, are lipids that exist in the skin and play an important role in the formation of the epidermal stratum corneum. Recent studies have shown that when the skin appears dry, desquamated, and cracked, and its barrier function is significantly reduced, skin supplementation with ceramide can quickly restore moisturizing and barrier functions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is Ceramide 3 (Ceramide NP) Powder?
Ceramide 3, also known as Ceramide NP, is a pure lipid material that mimics the natural ceramides found in the stratum corneum of human skin. It is widely used in cosmetics to restore the skin's moisture barrier and enhance hydration.
What are the main benefits of Ceramide 3 in skincare?
Ceramide 3 helps repair dry, desquamated, and cracked skin by rebuilding the epidermal barrier. This barrier function prevents moisture loss and protects the skin against environmental pollutants and irritants.
What is the source of your Ceramide 3 Powder?
Our Ceramide 3 is sourced either through natural canola fermentation (resulting in up to 99% pure white powder) or plant-based Konjac Extract / Rice Bran Extract, which is suitable for both food and cosmetic grades.
How should Ceramide 3 Powder be added to cosmetic formulations?
Cosmetic grade Ceramide 3 Powder (especially the 30% concentration) is typically incorporated into the oil phase of emulsions. It is recommended to heat and dissolve it with other lipids or emulsifiers to ensure uniform dispersion.
Is the Ceramide Powder compatible with all skin types?
Yes, because ceramides are skin-identical molecules, Ceramide 3 is exceptionally gentle, non-irritating, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone, and dry skin conditions.
