N-Lignoceroyl Phytosphingosine (Ceramide C24)
INCI name · N-Lignoceroyl Phytosphingosine
In short
A very‑long‑chain ceramide that closely matches the skin’s own C24 ceramides. It helps pack the skin’s lipids tightly, supporting moisture retention and overall barrier comfort.
What it is
Very-long-chain C24 ceramide NP variant; constitutes a significant portion of the native stratum corneum ceramide pool alongside C18 and C20 homologues; C24 acyl chains interdigitate across bilayer leaflets providing the tightest packing geometry and lowest water permeability; critical for waterproofing and protection against transepidermal water loss.
