About

Phytosphingosine Hcl is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Phytosphingosine HCl is the salt form of phytosphingosine, a naturally occurring sphingolipid found in the stratum corneum of human skin. It functions as a skin-conditioning agent with demonstrated anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and barrier-strengthening properties. The EU CosIng database lists it with no restrictions. As a skin-identical ingredient, it has minimal irritation potential and is particularly valued in formulations for sensitive, dry, and compromised skin types. The hydrochloride salt improves solubility in aqueous cosmetic formulations.

Skin benefits

  • Anti-inflammatory and calming properties
  • Supports skin barrier repair
  • Natural antimicrobial activity
  • Well-tolerated in sensitive and eczema-prone skin
