Phytosphingosine
Phytosphingosine is a type of lipid known as a sphingoid base that occurs naturally in the upper layer of the skin. It is found both in free form and as a component of ceramides, which are key structural lipids in the skin barrier. It is considered part of the skin's natural defense system and has emerging research supporting antimicrobial and cell-communicating properties.

Phytosphingosine has demonstrated antimicrobial activity against acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) and shows anti-inflammatory properties, making it a promising complementary active for acne-prone skin. As a skin-identical ingredient and ceramide precursor, it also supports the skin's natural barrier and defense mechanisms.
