Science
Mechanism of Action
As vital constituents of cellular membranes, Hydrogenated Sphingolipids stabilize the membrane bilayer, thereby regulating skin permeability and increasing membrane order. They are integral to reinforcing the skin's natural barrier, akin to ceramides in the stratum corneum, critical for preventing transepidermal water loss and supporting various cellular signaling pathways through hydrogen bonding within plasma membrane nanodomains.
