Viable Phyto-S

phytosphigosine also known as sphingosine, is a precursor of ceramides and exists in the epidermis and skin surface. It is one of the important oil components in the human epidermis.It has a similar material structure to the stratum corneum and can quickly penetrate into the skin, combining with the water in the stratum corneum to form a mesh structure that locks in moisture.It has water absorption and hydrophobic characteristics. It is one of the most important protective elements of theskin barrier. In 1884, chemist J.L.W coined the word phytosphingosine, which was taken from the term “sphingoid”, a major component in all biological membranes. There are four types of sphingoid basesv and phytosphingosine is one of them. Phytosphigosine is a long-chain, complex fatty alcohol that is found naturally in skin’s upper layers. It’s an essential part of maintaining skin’s natural moisturising factor (NMF) for overall skin health. It’s also a base component of certain ceramides, which serve as part of skin’s structure. Phytosphigosine in topical skin care products helps replenish skin’s barrier for a more youthful look and feel. Recent studies also show that phytospingosine can have a calming effect on skin, helping reduce redness and sensitivity.
