Ingredient Info

Phytosphingosine is a naturally-derived lipid (fatty substance) that helps strengthen your skin's protective barrier. It works by replenishing the lipids that keep skin moisturized and resilient, while also helping to calm inflammation and reduce acne-causing bacteria.



Benefits

  • Supports skin barrier function and hydration
  • Reduces inflammation and redness
  • Helps control acne-prone skin with antimicrobial properties

Science: Research indicates phytosphingosine has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that may accelerate acne recovery when used in topical formulations. It appears particularly useful in products designed to restore skin barrier health in conditions like eczema and acne-prone skin.
