Ceramide AP Powder, also known as Ceramide 6 or N-stearoyl phytosphingosine, is a highly purified synthetic ceramide identical to one of the key ceramide species naturally present in the human stratum corneum. Our pharmaceutical-grade Ceramide AP powder is produced through advanced enzymatic synthesis using specific ceramide synthases or through chemical synthesis followed by multiple purification steps to achieve exceptional stereochemical purity and minimal impurities.
Ceramides hold skin cells firmly together in the uppermost skin layer. This not only keeps the fluid in the skin but also protects it from allergens and external aggressors. Ceramides are not only important for a healthy appearance, but also for a healthy functioning skin.

FAQ
Q: What concentration of Ceramide AP Powder is effective in formulations?
A: Typically 0.1-2.0% in final products. For compromised barrier conditions, 1-2% concentrations show optimal efficacy. Lower concentrations (0.1-0.5%) are effective for maintenance.
Q: Can Ceramide AP Powder be used with other barrier lipids?
A: Yes, it works best in combination with cholesterol and free fatty acids in optimal ratios (ceramides:cholesterol:free fatty acids = 1:1:1 or 3:1:1) to mimic natural stratum corneum composition.
Q: How does your factory make sure the product quality?
A: 1.We will check the samples randomly.
2.Ensure the quality and storage safety of each batch of products.
