NK‑L1008 Ceramide Liposome (6%) – High‑Concentration Lipid Barrier Repair for Intensive Skin Recovery
A rich, creamy liposomal paste containing 5‑6% ceramide NP – restores the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and improves elasticity. Ideal for dry, sensitive, and aging skin.
Product Overview:
Ceramides are the essential lipids that form the skin’s protective barrier. However, ceramide NP is highly crystalline, poorly soluble, and tends to recrystallise – limiting its use in formulations. NK‑L1008 overcomes these challenges with advanced phospholipid liposome technology. Ceramide NP (5‑6%) is encapsulated together with cholesterol, vitamin E, and hydrogenated lecithin into nanoscale liposomes that mimic the skin’s own cell membrane structure. The result is a white to off‑white creamy paste that disperses readily in water, providing:
-
High active concentration – delivers a potent dose of ceramide for intensive repair.
-
Excellent bioavailability – liposomes fuse with the stratum corneum, allowing deep penetration.
-
No crystallisation – stable and ready to use in creams, lotions, and masks.
-
Sustained release – gentle, long‑lasting action.
| Benefit | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| 🛡️ Intensive barrier repair | Replenishes ceramide levels, restores the intercellular lipid matrix, reduces TEWL |
| 💧 Deep & lasting hydration | Locks moisture into the skin, improves dryness, flaking, and roughness |
| ✨ Improves elasticity & texture | Softens skin, increases suppleness, reduces fine lines |
| 🔬 Liposomal delivery (6% active) | High‑potency, no crystallisation, superior skin absorption |
| 🌿 Strengthens skin tolerance | Thickens the stratum corneum, protects against irritants and allergens |
| ❤️ Reduces redness & strengthens capillaries | Helps repair broken capillaries (rosacea, sensitive skin) |
