Description

C6 Ceramide CAS NO 124753-97-5 is a synthetic, short-chain ceramide analog, specifically N-hexanoyl-D-erythro-sphingosine. This high-purity lipid molecule is a critical building block in advanced cosmetic and pharmaceutical research, valued for its role in mimicking and modulating skin barrier function. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the personal care, dermatological, and life science sectors for developing next-generation skincare actives and lipid-based delivery systems.

Application

• As a key active ingredient in premium anti-aging, moisturizing, and barrier-repair skincare formulations (creams, serums, lotions).
• As a reference standard or biochemical tool in dermatological and lipid metabolism research.
• As a component in lipid nanoparticle (LNP) formulations for drug delivery systems.
• As a model compound for studying ceramide biology, cell signaling, and apoptosis in pharmaceutical development.
• For use in high-end haircare products aimed at improving scalp health and hair strength.
• In the development of cosmeceutical and medical device products targeting dry skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Quality Control

Our C6 Ceramide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and cosmetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, related substances, and residual solvents are provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. Allow the product to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
