Ceramide NP

세라마이드

CERAMIDE NP

barriersoothing

The dominant lipid in the skin's cornified layer, responsible for forming the "mortar" between skin cells that keeps moisture in and irritants out. Ceramide NP (N-2-hydroxyethyl palmitamide) is the most common form used in skincare. Depleted by over-exfoliation, aging, and harsh cleansers. Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin and COSRX Balm are the canonical K-Beauty ceramide delivery vehicles. Works best alongside fatty acids and cholesterol in a 1:1:1 ratio.
