  • Barrier Repair Creams
    Delivers essential lipids to compromised or dry skin, reinforcing the stratum corneum and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
  • Anti-Aging Moisturizers
    Improves skin elasticity and smooths the appearance of fine lines by replenishing the skin's natural ceramide content.
  • Hydrating Face Serums
    Provides deep, lasting hydration in a lightweight format, creating a healthier, more resilient skin surface.
  • Soothing Body Lotions
    Ideal for sensitive or dry skin formulations, helping to calm irritation and restore a comfortable, supple feel.
  • Hair & Scalp Conditioners

Performance & Formulation Insights for Ceramide3B DPS

How Ceramide3B DPS Rebuilds the Skin Barrier

Ceramide3B DPS leverages a dual-action mechanism to deliver comprehensive skin barrier restoration. The primary active, Ceramide NP (Ceramide 3), is a skin-identical lipid that functions as the “mortar” between corneocytes, integrating into the stratum corneum to fill gaps in the lipid matrix. This reinforces the barrier, minimizes moisture loss, and helps protect against external irritants.

This action is enhanced by Pseudozyma Epicola/Olive Fruit Oil Ferment Filtrate. Fermentation increases bioavailability and reduces molecular size, enabling deeper penetration versus conventional oils. The process concentrates beneficial free fatty acids and antioxidants, delivering advanced nourishment and supporting the multilamellar lipid structure. Together, these components repair the barrier and improve overall skin health and resilience.

Formulation Guidelines & Technical Advantages

Ceramide3B DPS is a pre-dispersed, water-soluble liquid that simplifies development, removing the heating and solubilization hurdles typical of pure ceramide powders.

  • Usage Rate: 1–5%; lower levels for daily maintenance, higher levels for intensive repair.
  • Incorporation: Add to the water phase or during cool-down below 40°C (104°F) to protect actives.
  • pH Stability: Optimal performance in finished formulas pH 4.0–7.0.
  • Compatibility: Synergizes with humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid), botanical hydrators, and lipids to build multi-lamellar moisturizing systems.

Key Formulation Benefits

  • Intensive Barrier Fortification: Helps restore the skin’s protective layer, reducing sensitivity and environmental impact.
  • Reduces Water Loss (TEWL): Locks in moisture for deep, lasting hydration and a plumper appearance.
  • Improves Elasticity & Texture: Replenishes essential lipids to smooth fine lines and support firmness.
  • Enhanced Bioavailability: Bio-fermented olive oil promotes superior absorption and nourishment.
  • Soothes & Calms: Ideal for sensitive, dry, or compromised skin conditions.
  • Formulation-Ready Liquid: Pre-dispersed system enables energy-efficient processing without high-heat phases.
