Introduction
Ceramide NP is also known as squalane IIIB. As a natural lipid in the skin, it is an important component of the skin barrier. Ceramide NP, along with cholesterol and free fatty acids, forms a multilayer lamellar membrane that fills the spaces between keratinocytes, and is crucial for maintaining the skin's water balance and barrier function. Ceramide NP is widely used in the cosmetics industry. It not only enhances the natural lipid barrier of dry and aged skin, but also maintains the skin's water balance. The squalane obtained through biotechnological fermentation process has the same stereoisomer configuration (2S, 3S, 4R) as the human body's own squalane, which is crucial for the exertion of product efficacy.
