Phyto-Oil C3: Advanced Barrier Repair and Long-Lasting Protection

Phyto-Oil C3 is a powerful delivery system designed to support the skin and hair’s natural lipid barrier. It combines Ceramide NP with fatty acids and sterols derived from soybean seeds to optimize its activity. Ceramide NP is known for its ability to strengthen the skin’s structure, reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and protect against environmental stressors such as photo damage, surfactants, and low humidity conditions.

Key Benefits:

Barrier Reinforcement: Enhances the skin’s epidermal lipid barrier, improving hydration and reducing water loss.

Collagen Support: Stimulates collagen production and cellular turnover, promoting healthier and firmer skin.

Hair Care Benefits: Improves shine, texture, and combability while protecting hair from damage.

Advanced Formulation: Coupled with fatty acids and sterols, Phyto-Oil C3 creates a biomimetic matrix that mimics the skin’s natural lipids for optimal functionality.

How It Works:

Phyto-Oil C3 provides structural support by forming a lamellar bilayer, acting as molecular scaffolding for the skin. This process helps the stratum corneum—the skin’s outermost layer—retain moisture, strengthen its defense mechanisms, and maintain keratin structures in both skin and hair.

Applications:

Recommended for use in emulsions and anhydrous systems, Phyto-Oil C3 is ideal for skin and hair care products targeting long-term moisturization, barrier repair, and protection from extrinsic damage.

Transform your formulations with Phyto-Oil C3 for healthier, firmer, and more resilient skin and hair.

Difference with FSS Phyto-Oil C2: 

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.
