Ceramide 3 (Ceramide NP)
Ceramide 3 also known as Ceramide NP is a naturally occurring lipid crucial for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
This ceramide is known specially for preventing moisture loss within the skin and helps with the overall protection of the skin ion which helps the overall health of the skin.
Overtime ceramide levels within the skin naturally decrease which is why including ceramides within products are important for the moisturisation.
