What Is Phytosphingosine?
Phytosphingosine is a lipid naturally present in the skin's outer barrier, closely related to ceramides. It helps reinforce barrier function while also having a calming effect on the look of redness and irritation.
ASI includes it in the Barrier Hydration Complex alongside ceramides and cholesterol to closely mimic the skin's own protective lipid composition.
