What it is
Ceramides are a major class of lipids in the outermost layer of skin, where they help hold cells together and limit water loss. Ceramide AP is one of these structural lipids, included in formulas to top up the skin's own ceramides and support a healthy, resilient barrier.
Safety & warnings
Skin-identical ceramides are very well tolerated, including by sensitive and barrier-impaired skin.
Origin & sourcing
Usually produced synthetically for cosmetic use to match a skin-identical ceramide.
