Barrier Lipid Hydration & Barrier

What it is & what it does

Ceramide AP is an alpha-hydroxy ceramide that contributes to the lipid architecture of the skin barrier.
Its role is barrier repair and moisture retention: it helps recreate the organized lipid environment that reduces transepidermal water loss. It is not a surface-only softener; it belongs to the barrier-lipid system.
