ViableCare LipoCare 8: integrating a liposomal ceramide complex into barrier-care formulas

ViableCare LipoCare 8 5 g is listed with INCI Ceramide NP, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Cholesterol, Hexyldecanol, Sorbitol, Water. It is a supplied dispersion rather than dry Ceramide NP, with pH 5.0–7.5 and listed 0.5–5% use in creams, serums and emulsions.

A supplied complex is not neat ceramide

Lecithin, cholesterol, emollient, sorbitol and water are part of the commercial system. Its use level and processing cannot be transferred directly to pure ceramide powder.
