1. Phytosphingosine is best for Skin’s natural barrier.

Phytosphingosine is one type of lipid that makes up the skin’s lipid barrier, which also contains about 50 percent ceramides, 25 percent cholesterol, and about 10 to 15 percent fatty acids. Without these essential lipids, the barrier is weakened. A weak or damaged barrier allows harmful things like allergens, bacteria, and irritants to pass through into the deeper layers of skin, which causes symptoms of dryness, itching, and irritation. Disruption of the skin barrier has been linked with skin conditions such as acne, eczema, sensitive skin, and even signs of aging. Skincare products that contain phytosphingosine can help to prevent these problems.

2. Phytosphingosine is best for skin's Water loss.

In addition to providing protection from environmental factors, the skin’s lipid barrier also functions to prevent excessive water loss. Transepidermal water loss or TEWL occurs when the skin loses water to the surrounding environment and air. This often occurs as the skin ages and becomes drier or if the skin barrier is disrupted from skin conditions, harsh products, or environmental factors. Phytosphingosine and the other lipids that make up the skin’s barrier help to lock in moisture and prevent skin dehydration.
