Ceramide NP Powder, 99+% pure, cosmetic ingredient

**Ceramide Powder** --N-Stearoyl Phytosphingosine-- Other names: Ceramide NP, Ceramide 3 Chemical Formula: C 24 H 47 NO 3 CAS#: 100403-19-8 Ceramides are a family of naturally occurring lipid molecules that make up about 50% of the stratum corneum, which is the outermost layer of the skin. Ceramides play a significant role in helping skin retain water and keeping out microorganisms. As humans age, there is a decrease in ceramides in the statum corneum, which can contribute to a lack of hydration in the skin as well as wrinkles. Ceramides work best when combined with fatty acids and cholesterol, with the natural ratio in the skin being approximately 3.6 : 1.2 : 1 (ceramides : fatty acids : cholesterol). Many popular skincare products contain ceramides, but the concentrations are typically very low due to the prohibitively high cost of ceramides. There are nine different ceramides found naturally in the skin, and the specific type for our ceramide powder is Ceramide NP . This ceramide powder is derived from rice bran oil and has been assayed at 99+% pure. It is soluble in lipids, ethanol, and acetone, and should be used at a 1% final concentration in your formulations. This is for topical use only, do not ingest.
