AC Phyto-Oil C2: Advanced Moisturization and Protection
Inspired by the resilience of Glycine Soja (wild soybean), which thrives in harsh habitats across East Asia, FSS Phyto-Oil C2 is a sophisticated delivery system designed to enhance skin and hair care formulations. Enriched with Ceramide NG, fatty acids, and sterols, this innovative ingredient supports optimal ceramide activity for superior hydration and protection.
Key Benefits: Long-Lasting Moisturization: Improves hydration for both skin and hair, promoting a healthy and nourished appearance. Enhanced Protection: Defends against extrinsic damage caused by photo-aging, surfactants, stress, and low humidity. Skin Support: Ceramide NG strengthens the skin barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and supports collagen production in fibroblasts. Hair Care Benefits: Improves hair shine, texture, and compatibility while protecting against environmental and mechanical stress.
Ceramides, essential lipid molecules found in high concentrations in cellular membranes, provide structural integrity and reinforce skin health. In hair care, Ceramide NG plays a key role in conditioning and protecting hair, particularly for sensitive scalps.
The difference between FSS Phyto-Oil C2 and FSS Phyto-Oil C3 comes down to the type of ceramide they contain and how they work. FSS Phyto-Oil C2 uses Ceramide NG, which is great for providing deep hydration and protecting skin and hair from environmental stress, making it perfect for everyday use. FSS Phyto-Oil C3, on the other hand, contains Ceramide NP, which focuses more on repairing and strengthening the skin’s natural barrier. It’s especially helpful for restoring damaged or sensitive skin and improving elasticity. While both products hydrate and protect, C2 is better for general care, and C3 is ideal for advanced repair and anti-aging benefits. Ceramide NP and Ceramide NG differ primarily in their sphingoid base composition. Ceramide NP is an N-acylated sphingolipid composed of phytosphingosine (a long-chain amino alcohol with a D-erythro structure) linked to saturated or unsaturated fatty acids. In contrast, Ceramide NG (Phyto-Oil C2) is an N-acylated sphingolipid composed of sphinganine (a slightly different long-chain amino alcohol with a D-erythro structure) linked to similar fatty acids. This structural variation influences their functionality, with Ceramide NP (FSS Phyto-Oil C3) being more focused on repairing and restoring the skin's barrier, particularly for sensitive or damaged skin, while Ceramide NG provides effective hydration and protection against environmental factors, making it ideal for general moisturization and defense.
