Phytosphingosine is a phospholipid naturally found in our skin. It helps moisturize, soothe, and protect skin.
Phytosphingosine is already present in our skin. On our skin, it is a building block for ceramides.
Phytosphingosine tells our skin to increase its natural moisturizing factor (NMF). The NMF is responsible for hydration, a strong barrier, and plasticity. Our NMF decreases with age. Increasing NMF leads to more healthy and hydrated skin.
Studies show products formulated with NMF ingredients help strengthen our skin's barrier. Having a healthy skin barrier reduces irritation and increases hydration. Our skin barrier is responsible for having plump and firm skin. It also helps protect our skin against infection, allergies, and inflammation.
Phytosphingosine is also abundant in plants and fungi.

This cream is fantastic for my dry, sensitive skin during transition months between seasons like spring and fall. It's the perfect level of moisture and comfort that my skin needs, and it protects it well throughout the day. It's one of the more lightweight creams my skin has liked, as I usually prefer thicker creams because they offer moisture. However, this one is so good, and I always return to it.
