N-Stearoyl Phytosphingosine(CAT: R046418) is a ceramide, a type of lipid molecule that plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of cell membranes and regulating skin barrier functions. It consists of phytosphingosine, a naturally occurring sphingoid base, conjugated to stearic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. N-Stearoyl Phytosphingosine is commonly used in cosmetic and dermatological products due to its moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and skin barrier-enhancing properties. It helps protect the skin from environmental stressors, reduces transepidermal water loss, and promotes skin hydration. Additionally, this compound is studied for its role in cellular signaling, particularly in relation to skin health and disease.
