Ceramide NP (CAS 104404-17-3), also known as Ceramide 3, is a skin-identical lipid molecule composed of a phytosphingosine base linked to a non-hydroxy fatty acid (stearic acid). It appears as a white to off-white fine powder and is the most abundant ceramide naturally found in the human stratum corneum, accounting for approximately 22% of total epidermal ceramides. Our Ceramide NP is produced through bio-fermentation and precision purification to achieve ≥98% purity (HPLC), ensuring maximum bio-compatibility and efficacy.
Ceramides are the fundamental building blocks of the skin's lipid barrier, forming lamellar structures between corneocytes that prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and protect against environmental aggressors. Ceramide NP deficiency is a hallmark of aging, dry, and sensitive skin conditions including atopic dermatitis and eczema. Topical replenishment restores barrier integrity, improves hydration, reduces sensitivity, and visibly smooths fine lines — making Ceramide NP an indispensable active for premium anti-aging, moisturizing, and barrier repair formulations.
