What it is
Ceramide NG is one of the structural lipids that make up the skin's outer barrier, where they help bind cells together and limit water loss. Added to formulas, it tops up the skin's own ceramides to support a stronger, more resilient barrier and better hydration.
Safety & warnings
Skin-identical ceramides are gentle and well suited to sensitive, dry, or barrier-impaired skin.
Origin & sourcing
Typically produced synthetically as a skin-identical ceramide.
