Viablife PHS, Phytosphingosine is a type of spingoid base, a component found in the lipid layer of the skin. It plays a role in maintaining the skin’s barrier function. Phytosphingosine contributes to the formation of the skin’s lipid barrier, which is essential for preventing water loss and protecting the skin from external irritants. A healthy barrier function is important for maintaining skin hydration. Phytosphingosine primarily functions as a humectant, antioxidant, and skin conditioner in cosmetics and skincare products. In skincare products, phytospingosine is often included to support the skin’s natural functions and enhance the barrier. It is a versatile ingredient with benefits for various skin types. Additionally, Phytosphingosine exhibits antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial in preventing and treating skin conditions such as acne.

Viablife Ceramide AP is a Ceramide 6 II, also known as N-acylated sphingolipid, is a ceramide derived from phytosphingosine, a compound naturally found in the skin. This specific ceramide plays a vital role in maintaining skin health and integrity. Its distinctive structure resembles an alpha-hydroxy fatty acid, either saturated or unsaturated, contributing to its unique properties. In the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin), Ceramide 6 II constitutes approximately 16% of the total ceramide content in this layer. It is instrumental in reinforcing the skin barrier function, preventing moisture loss, and protecting the skin from external irritants. Viablife Ceramide AP strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, reducing moisture loss and improving the skin's defence against pollutants and irritants. By preventing the deposition and penetration of harmful particles, it helps maintain the integrity of the skin's outermost layer, preventing dehydration and enhancing elasticity. In addition, Ceramide 6 II is particularly suitable for sensitive skin. It is less acidic than alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and gentler on the skin, making it an excellent choice for peeling formulations designed for delicate or reactive skin types.

Viablife Panthenol (D-Panthenol) is a multifunctional moisturizing and conditioning agent that improves skin hydration and supports barrier repair. In hair care, it helps enhance shine and improve manageability, making it suitable for a wide range of skin and hair care formulations.

Viablife Ceramide NG is a key sphingolipid naturally found in the intercellular lipids of the stratum corneum, where it plays a critical role in strengthening and restoring the skin barrier. By enhancing the structural stability and compactness of the lipid bilayer, it helps reduce transepidermal water loss and improve moisture retention, resulting in softer, smoother skin. Working synergistically with cholesterol and free fatty acids, Ceramide NG supports deep moisturization, barrier repair, and improved skin resilience, making it especially suitable for sensitive or compromised skin. Additionally, it helps improve the appearance of fine lines and loss of firmness associated with barrier damage and is often combined with other ceramides (such as NP and AP) to deliver a more comprehensive and effective barrier repair solution.
