Ceramide NP

What it is
Ceramide NP is a skin-identical lipid similar to the ceramides naturally found in the outermost layer of your skin. Ceramides are an important part of the skin's moisture barrier, helping keep moisture in and outside irritants out.

Why we use it
We use Ceramide NP to help support the skin's natural moisture barrier and improve the way dry, depleted-feeling skin holds onto moisture. It works especially well in moisturizing formulas where hydration and barrier support are designed to work together.

Why it's considered safe

  • Ceramides are naturally present in healthy skin

  • Ceramide-containing moisturizers are widely used in sensitive and dry-skin care

  • Research supports their role in improving hydration and supporting skin-barrier function

Good to know
When skin feels dry, tight, or more sensitive than usual, its protective moisture barrier may need extra support. Ceramide NP helps replenish the type of lipid the skin naturally relies on to stay soft, comfortable, and hydrated.

The Lotus Standard
We choose ingredients for a reason. Ceramide NP is included to support hydration, comfort, and the skin's natural moisture barrier without adding unnecessary fragrance or harsh actives.
