salicyloyl phytosphingosine

Salicyloyl phytosphingosine is a sphingolipid derivative which is used to promote keratinocyte differentiation and is an important component of the water permeability barrier of the skin.

Studies have found that like other ceramides and related ingredients, salicyloyl phytospingosine helps shore up skin’s defenses against signs of aging, particularly related to aging caused by sun damage. Topical application helps reduce the visible appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Research also shows salicyloyl phytospingosine helps calm skin, resulting in a reduction of redness and sensitivity.
