Ceramide AP

Ceramide AP (also known as Ceramide 6-II or Ceramide 6) is a specific ceramide subtype characterized by a phytosphingosine base linked to an alpha-hydroxy fatty acid. This particular ceramide structure is naturally found in the stratum corneum and plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function and promoting desquamation. The liposomal dispersion variant enhances its delivery and stability in formulations, making it particularly effective for barrier repair and anti-aging applications where it helps reduce transepidermal water loss and improve skin texture.
