Ceramide NP is a type of ceramide.
Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

Round Lab Soybean Nourishing Mask 26 ingredients
This is a very soothing mask with no irritants or hyaluronic acid. It’s very moisturizing with ingredients that include glycerin, cholesterol, ceramide np and adenosine. There is no added fragrance and it has a slightly earthy smell which I do not find off putting. There is plenty of product in the sheet mask and also in the wrapping which I squeeze out and use on my neck. I use this mask once a Show more
Very, very slight itchiness when I put this on. It’s also not as hydrating as a snail mask for me, nor as nourishing as other masks that are supposed to help with the skin barrier. Will not be going out of my way to buy again.
