Ceramide AS
INCI: ceramide as
Ceramide AS is a phytosphingosine-based ceramide class contributing to the lamellar organisation of the stratum corneum barrier. As part of the ceramide family it declines with age, harsh cleansing, and over-exfoliation — and its replenishment in multi-ceramide blends supports reduced moisture loss, smoother texture, and calmer reactivity. At 0.01–0.5% it appears in modern barrier repair creams, ideally alongside NP, AP, EOP, cholesterol, and fatty acids in skin-like ratios. Daily consistent use over the whole face and neck delivers the cumulative barrier payoff this chemistry is built for.
