About

Lactoyl Phytosphingosine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

LACTOYL PHYTOSPHINGOSINE is a conjugate of lactic acid and phytosphingosine, both naturally occurring in the skin. Phytosphingosine is a major component of ceramides in the stratum corneum. This ingredient has been studied for its role in skin barrier homeostasis, inflammation regulation, and natural defense against microorganisms. No EU restrictions apply; it is considered safe for cosmetic use at normal concentrations.
