Phytosphingosine - the strongest guardian of the cuticle
Plant sphingosine, also known as neural sphingosine, scientific name: 2-amino-4-octadecene-1, 3-diol, is a kind of octadecanol containing unsaturated hydrocarbon chain. Sphingosine belongs to sphingolipids, which are components of cell membranes and signal lipids and are involved in various cellular processes. Plant sphingosine is mainly distributed in wheat and other plant seeds, and its content is very small, so it is very difficult to extract.
According to relevant data, 1 ton of high-quality organic wheat can only extract 1 kg of phytosphingosine, so it is called "plant soft gold".
Moreover, phytosphingosine is based on the long sphingomyelin chain that acts as a ceramide backbone (simply a ceramide precursor that occurs naturally in the skin) and is present in the epidermis and the skin surface. Similar in structure to the stratum corneum, it quickly penetrates the skin and binds to the water in the stratum corneum, forming a kind of network that locks in water.

Description of Product Efficacy
1. Phytosphingosine is an important component of water retention and barrier function. Plant sphingosine is one of the important oil components in human epidermis, which can effectively keep skin soft and protect the cortex.
2, plant sphingosine has antibacterial properties, but also has anti-inflammatory effect, can be used for the prevention and treatment of acne and other skin diseases.
3, skin regeneration function: promote skin barrier repair and collagen synthesis.
4, anti-inflammatory sedative effect: effectively reduce the skin inflammation caused by UV damage symptoms; Effective inhibition of protein kinases and phospholipases.
