24696-26-2 - Introduction
C16 Ceramide(C16 Ceramide) is a lipid molecule consisting of the long-chain fatty acid palmitic acid with sphingosine. It is a solid, usually white crystalline or powdery.
C16 Ceramide has important physiological functions in organisms. It is one of the components of sphingomyelin and participates in the signal transmission and regulation of nerve cells. In addition, it is also involved in the regulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death) and plays an important role in cell survival and death.
In the field of cosmetics, C16 Ceramide is widely used in skin care products, which can be used for moisturizing, anti-aging and repairing skin barrier. In addition, it is also used as a carrier in drug delivery systems for delivering drugs to specific cells or tissues.
There are many ways to prepare C16 Ceramide, one of which is commonly used to synthesize through esterification. The specific step is to react palmitic acid with sphingosine under appropriate reaction conditions to produce C16 Ceramide.
Regarding safety information, C16 Ceramide is generally considered safe under normal use. However, as a chemical, it can cause allergic reactions or irritation, so a skin sensitivity test is recommended before using cosmetics or other products containing C16 Ceramide. In addition, during preparation and use, relevant safety procedures should be observed, and direct contact with eyes and skin should be avoided.
