Ceramide is the main lipid component of the lamellar lamellae present in the intercellular spaces of the stratum corneum. These lamellar lamellae are supposed to provide the barrier properties of the epidermis. It is generally believed that the intercellular lipid domain is composed of approximately 45-50% ceramide, 25% cholesterol, 15% free fatty acids, and 2% phytosphingosine. The presence of a lipid in the nervous tissue of the brain was first discovered in 1884 by Johann Thudichum in a publication titled "A treatise on the chemical constitution of the brain". Since its biological function is difficult to understand, the lipid was named Sphingolipid after the Sphinx in ancient Egyptian mythology by the root word "Sphingo-". Sphingolipids were later classified into three types: sphingomyelins, glycosphingolipids, and ceramides.

Ceramides are structurally heterogeneous and complex sphingolipids that differ in chain length, type and degree of hydroxylation, and degree of saturation. Ceramide is formed by covalent condensation of sphingosine and long-chain fatty acids with 12 to 30 carbon atoms. Different combinations of three sphingosine and four fatty acids are connected through amide to form different ceramides in the stratum corneum, mainly twelve categories. Ceramide NP is the most abundant and functionally important category. Ceramides play a vital role in building and maintaining the skin's water permeability barrier function. Together with other cuticle lipids, they form an ordered structure.

Application：
Functional raw materials in the field of daily chemicals
Ceramide NP can be used in skin care products, and has the functions of moisturizing, repairing, soothing, delaying aging, and alleviating atopic dermatitis.

Advantages：
1：Pure appearance and color
ViableCare Ceramide NP is pure white powder, ensuring premium quality and consistency.
2：Higher purity
ViableCare Ceramide NP is produced by biosynthesis process, with higher purity and minimal impurities.
3：Uniform particle size
The particle size of ViableCare Ceramide NP is strictly controlled, resulting in a more uniform and consistent product.
4：Formula guidance
As a highly crystalline substance, Ceramide NP is low solubility in water and oil phases, poor dispersibility, and easy crystallization and precipitation, which limits its application in cosmetics. Viablife offers professional formulation guidance and tailored recommendations to optimize the application of ViableCare Ceramide NP.
