Ceramides are a family of waxy lipid molecules. A ceramide is composed of sphingosine and a fatty acid. Ceramides are found in high concentrations within the cell membrane of cells. They are one of the component lipids that make up sphingomyelin, one of the major lipids in the lipid bilayer.
Ceramide is composed of sphingosine and fatty acid. Ceramide 3 consists of a phytosphingosine backbone N-acylated with a saturated fatty acid. Ceramide 3 is also known as Ceramide NP.
Ceramide 3 powder can be used in cosmetic field. It plays a key role in helping the skin retain moisture, as well as repairing and restoring the skin barrier.
Ceramide 3 powder also can be used as orally dietary supplement.

1. Barrier effect
Ceramide powder plays a very important role in maintaining the barrier function of the skin.
2. Adhesion
Ceramide powder can significantly enhance the adhesion between keratinocytes, improve skin dryness, and reduce skin desquamation.
3. Moisturizing effect
Ceramide powder has a strong ability to associate water molecules. It maintains skin moisture by forming a network structure in the stratum corneum. Therefore, ceramide has the effect of maintaining skin moisture
4. Anti-aging effect
Ceramide powder can increase the content of ceramide in the epidermal stratum corneum, which can improve skin dryness, desquamation, roughness and other conditions; at the same time, ceramide can increase the thickness of the epidermal stratum corneum, improve skin water retention, reduce wrinkles, enhance skin elasticity, and delay skin senescence.
5. Participate in cell function
Ceramide powder exists in the cell membranes of animal and plant tissues. Its molecules expose monosaccharide or oligosaccharide residues to the extracellular space and participate in the reaction with other cells, antibodies, bacterial toxins, and glycolipid head groups of viral envelope proteins. Therefore, ceramide plays a very important role in cell adhesion, regulation of cellular immunity, determination of blood type and as tumor antigen.
