What it is
Polyunsaturated C18:2 ceramide NP variant; linoleyl chain incorporated into lamellar lipid bodies contributes barrier flexibility; linoleic acid deficiency in skin ceramides is directly implicated in impaired barrier function and pro-inflammatory conditions; topical linoleoyl ceramides may help compensate for this deficiency in dry and sensitised skin types.
