AccessCARE CERA 1005

Ceramide NP + TECA Complex for Soothing, Transparent Hydration

INCI Name: Ceramide NP, TECA, Hydrogenated Lecithin

AccessCARE CERA 1005 pairs Ceramide NP with TECA (Centella Asiatica-derived soothing actives) in a PSLN-encapsulated system. This synergy combines ceramide NP’s TEWL-reducing, moisture-retentive barrier support with TECA’s calming properties, resulting in a water- and oil-soluble active that formulates clear and transparent — ideal for formulators who want visible ceramide benefits without cloudiness in the finished product.

Activity Level: 10% ceramide 5% TECA

Solubility Notes:

Water- and oil-soluble via PSLN encapsulation. Forms a transparent dispersion in aqueous systems; compatible with clear serum and gel bases. Incorporate into the water phase with moderate mixing.

Performance & Formulation Insights

How It Works: Ceramide NP is one of the most abundant and well-studied ceramide subtypes in the skin barrier, known for reducing TEWL and improving moisture retention. TECA contributes soothing, redness-calming support. PSLN encapsulation allows this pairing to remain stable and transparent in the finished formula while improving skin absorption.

Formulation Guidelines

Use at 0.5–10.0%. Being both water- and oil-soluble, it offers flexible incorporation into a range of base types; add to the water phase with moderate mixing for best clarity.
