Description

C20 Dihydroceramide CAS NO 121459-06-1 is a high-purity, synthetic sphingolipid derivative, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of ceramides and other complex lipids. This compound is critical for research and development in advanced cosmetic formulations and dermatological applications, where it serves as a stable precursor to bioactive ceramides. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories focused on skin barrier repair, anti-aging solutions, and lipid-based drug delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Actives: A fundamental building block for synthesizing ceramides used in moisturizers, anti-aging serums, and creams aimed at restoring the skin's lipid barrier.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized as a critical intermediate in the study of sphingolipid metabolism and the development of topical therapeutics for skin disorders like eczema and psoriasis.
• Biochemical & Cell Biology Studies: Serves as a standard or reagent in laboratory research to investigate cellular signaling pathways, apoptosis, and lipid raft formation.
• Advanced Drug Delivery Systems: Incorporated into lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) and other carrier systems to enhance the stability and dermal penetration of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in the development of conditioners and treatments designed to strengthen hair and improve scalp health by mimicking natural lipid structures.

Quality Control

Our C20 Dihydroceramide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and formulation. Certificates of Analysis (COA) with detailed chromatographic data are provided to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This product is easily oxidized and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
