NK‑C6016 Ceramide Repair Oil – Stable, Oil‑Soluble Ceramide for Barrier Restoration & Deep Moisture
A ready‑to‑use, crystallisation‑free ceramide NP complex in natural oils – reinforces the skin barrier, reduces TEWL, and leaves skin supple and resilient.
Product Overview:
Ceramides are essential lipids that form the skin’s protective barrier. However, natural ceramide NP is highly crystalline, poorly soluble in most oils, and tends to recrystallise during storage – leading to reduced bioavailability and formulation instability.
NK‑C6016 solves this using a proprietary oil‑melt co‑crystal technology. By blending ceramide NP with oleyl alcohol, sunflower seed extract, caprylic/capric/linoleic triglyceride, and vitamin E, the ceramide’s crystal structure is modified and its crystallisation temperature lowered. The result is a stable, clear, oil‑soluble liquid that stays homogeneous and ready to use in all oil‑phase formulations.
| Benefit | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| 🛡️ Barrier repair | Replenishes lost ceramides, restores the stratum corneum lipid matrix, reduces TEWL |
| 💧 Deep hydration | Locks moisture into the skin, improves dryness, flaking, and roughness |
| 🧴 Stable & easy to use | No crystallisation, no heating required – simply add to oil phase |
| 🌿 Natural emollients | Sunflower seed extract + triglycerides provide additional soothing and smoothing |
| ⚡ Antioxidant protection | Vitamin E fights free radicals, prevents lipid peroxidation |
| 🔄 Versatile | Works in creams, lotions, balms, anhydrous serums, and sunscreen |
