01 Apr 2024 --- The Department of Scientific Affairs, Ego Pharmaceuticals in Australia studies the structural and functional features of key phytosphingosine-based ceramides (CERs) — notably CER[EOP], CER[NP] and CER[AP] — and their role in atopic skin health. The research discusses how the stratum corneum (SC) lipids maintain skin barrier homeostasis and contribute to the skin’s barrier function regarding its cohesiveness and resilience. It considers the usefulness of CER[EOP], CER[NP] and CER[AP] in preserving skin hydration and protecting and repairing dry, itchy or sensitive skin.
