Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide is pseudo-ceramide. It can help restore the skin as well.Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide is a kind of Ceramide of intercellular lipid Ceramide analog protein, which mainly serves as skin conditioner in products. It can enhance the barrier effect of epidermal cells, improve the skin’s water retention ability, and is a new type of additive in modern functional cosmetics. The main efficacy in cosmetics and daily chemical products skin moisturizing and build skin barrier. There are natural and synthetic ceramides. Natural ceramides/Ceramides are found in the outer layers of your skin, as well as in animals like cows and plants like soy. Synthetic ceramides (also known as Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamideor Pseudo-ceramides) are man-made. Because they’re free from contaminants and more stable than natural ceramides, Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide/Pseudo-ceramides are more commonly used in skin care products.The price of Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide is also much lower than that of natural “Ceramide”. It can enhance the cohesion of epidermal cells, promote the hydration of epidermis, improve the skin barrier, and improve the skin’s water retention capacity. Key Technical Parameters: Appearance White powder Assay 95% Melting Point 70-76℃ Pb ≤10mg/kg As ≤2mg/kg Functions: 1. Maintain skin moisture:     By forming layered molecular complexes through hydrogen bonding, promote hydration of the epidermis, thereby improving the skin’s ability to maintain moisture. 2. Skin care:     Enhance the cohesion of epidermal cells, repair the skin barrier function, so as to alleviate the scaling symptoms of the      Stratum corneum, help the epidermis recover, and improve the skin appearance. It can also prevent or reduce skin peeling caused by ultraviolet radiation, thereby helping the skin resist aging. Applications: Face care, body care, and hand care products (creams lotions) Advantages: More stable Lower price
