:Ceramides
Description:
Ceramides are a class of lipid molecules that play a crucial role in maintaining the skin's barrier function and overall health. They are sphingolipids, which are composed of a sphingosine backbone linked to a fatty acid. The specific ceramide associated with the CAS number 100403-19-8 is known as Ceramide 2, which is particularly important in skin biology. Ceramides are naturally found in high concentrations within the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the skin, where they contribute to moisture retention and protection against environmental stressors. They help to prevent transepidermal water loss, thereby maintaining skin hydration. Ceramides also play a role in cell signaling and can influence various biological processes, including inflammation and cell differentiation. In cosmetic and dermatological formulations, ceramides are often used for their moisturizing properties and are beneficial for conditions such as dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. Their ability to restore the skin barrier makes them a popular ingredient in skincare products aimed at improving skin health and appearance.

CAS:<p>Ceramides are fatty molecules consisting of a long chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms with a carboxyl group at one end. They form the major constituent of the lipid bilayer that makes up cell membranes. Ceramides perform many important functions in both the brain and mitochondria, where they regulate membrane permeability and mitochondrial functions. The structural analysis of ceramides has shown that they contain two hydrocarbon chains, which can be modified by enzymes to produce different types of ceramide. One type is sphingomyelin and is found in high levels in neuronal cell membranes. Sphingomyelin has a phase transition temperature of about 40°C, whereas another type, cerebroside, has a phase transition temperature closer to 25°C. Ceramide also contains an amide bond between two long-chain fatty acids, which is important for its stability and function. This bond can be broken by enzymes such as ceramidase or sphingomyelinase to form free fatty acids.</p>Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:Powder
