Description

C14 Ceramide CAS NO 34435-05-7 is a high-purity, synthetic sphingolipid characterized by a 14-carbon fatty acid chain. This compound is a critical building block in lipid research and advanced cosmetic formulations, valued for its role in mimicking and reinforcing the skin's natural barrier function. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D laboratories in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and life science sectors seeking to develop products that enhance skin hydration, repair, and protection.

Application

• Cosmetic & Skincare Formulations: A key active ingredient in premium moisturizers, anti-aging serums, and barrier repair creams to improve skin hydration and elasticity.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard and an intermediate in the study of sphingolipid metabolism, cell signaling, and apoptosis.
• Biochemical Studies: Employed in model membrane systems (liposomes, lipid bilayers) to investigate membrane structure, fluidity, and protein-lipid interactions.
• Hair Care Products: Incorporated into conditioners and treatments to strengthen hair fibers and improve manageability and shine.
• Nutraceuticals: Investigated for use in advanced dietary supplements targeting skin health from within.
• Advanced Material Science: Explored for creating bio-compatible coatings and drug delivery vehicles due to its self-assembling properties.

Quality Control

Our C14 Ceramide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, MS), to ensure it meets stringent specifications for research and formulation use. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation. For long-term storage, keep the container sealed in a dry, cool environment. Allow the product to reach room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture absorption.
