Luna-PC TAPS, Tetraacetylphytosphingosine(TAPS) is a modified form of phytoshingosine, which is a component found in the lipid layer of the skin and known for:

1. Moisturizing and Repairing the Skin: TAPS functions as a lipid source, contributing to the water-locking barrier of the skin's outer layer, the stratum corneum. This helps to increase the overall ceramide content in the skin, which is crucial for maintaining skin hydration and preventing dehydration. By bolstering the skin's barrier function.
2. Improving Dark Circles: TAPS has been found to inhibit the formation and leakage of capillaries. This action can be beneficial in improving the appearance of dark circles under the eyes.
3. Promoting Skin Cell Regeneration and Repair: TAPS is also known to promote the regeneration and repair of skin cells. It stimulates the synthesis of important structural proteins like collagen and elastic fibers, which are vital for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness.
