Ceramide NP (also known as ceramide 3) is a naturally occurring ceramide found in the skin's lipid matrix. Ceramides make up approximately 50% of the skin's protective outer layer, helping to retain moisture and defend against environmental aggressors. Topical application helps replenish depleted ceramide levels and restore barrier integrity.
