Products Description

High Purity Ceramide 3 Powder Packaging 1kg Bag 25kg Drum

Ceramide 3 (Ceramide NP) is a synthetic N-acylated phytosphingosine-based sphingolipid, chemically identical to the endogenous lipid in human skin stratum corneum. As a key component of skin intercellular lipid matrix (accounting for nearly 50% of total stratum corneum lipids), it consists of phytosphingosine backbone conjugated with long-chain saturated fatty acids via amide bonds.

At the skin physiological level, this ingredient fills the intercellular gaps of stratum corneum to reconstruct the "brick-and-mortar" structure of skin barrier, which physically inhibits transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and blocks external irritants penetration. Its multiple hydroxyl groups on molecular chain form hydrogen bonds with water molecules to build stable water-locking network, realizing long-term moisturization. In epidermal metabolism, it accelerates keratinocyte regular renewal, increases epidermal layer thickness, regulates skin cell physiological activity and relieves inflammatory reactions caused by barrier damage. Meanwhile, it optimizes stratum corneum microenvironment to promote transdermal absorption of co-existing functional components, and alleviates skin erythema and abnormal sensitivity triggered by external stimulation.

Applications

01.

Strengthen Skin Barrier Function

Ceramide 3 is a vital stratum corneum lipid that repairs damaged barriers, reduces transepidermal water loss and allergic reactions, boosts skin tolerance, and is ideal for sensitive skin and weak barrier conditions.

02.

Deep Moisturizing & Long-Lasting Lock

It binds water molecules to form a network structure, significantly enhancing moisturization. Its moisturizing capacity is up to 16 times that of hyaluronic acid, effectively relieving dryness, flaking and itching in dry or mature skin.

03.

Anti-Aging & Anti-Irritation

Promotes stratum corneum metabolism, increases epidermal thickness, improves elasticity and delays wrinkle formation. It also reduces environmental damage and lowers sensitivity risk.

04.

Auxiliary Whitening & Repair

Maintains stratum corneum water balance, promotes nutrient absorption, indirectly supports brightening, and helps soothe redness for overall skin improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Ceramide 3 and other ceramides?

Ceramide 3 (also called Ceramide NP) is a synthetic phytosphingosine-based ceramide that closely matches the skin's natural intercellular lipids. It excels in barrier repair, deep moisturization and anti-aging, making it widely used in sensitive, dry and anti-aging formulations.

What is the recommended usage rate in cosmetic formulas?

For most leave-on skincare products (creams, serums, lotions), the typical recommended concentration is 0.1%–2.0% to achieve stable efficacy without irritation.

Is Ceramide 3 powder suitable for sensitive skin formulas?

Yes. It is skin-identical, non-irritating, low in sensitization risk, and helps repair barrier damage, reduce redness and improve tolerance. It is a core raw material for sensitive-skin products.

Does Ceramide 3 powder clog pores?

No. Ceramide 3 acts in the stratum corneum lipid matrix to fill intercellular gaps and lock moisture. It does not accumulate in pores or cause comedones or breakouts.

How should I store Ceramide 3 powder to ensure stability?

Store in a sealed, dry, cool and well-ventilated place, protected from light and moisture, under inert atmosphere at room temperature. Proper storage preserves activity and extends shelf life.
