CDF Transparent Ceramide Oil™ is a specialized lipid concentrate developed for formulators creating refined, high-performance barrier-care products. It provides a practical route to incorporating skin-identical ceramides into clear facial oils, oil serums, balms and other lipid-rich formats without relying on conventional aqueous ceramide dispersions.

The combination of Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP and phytosphingosine helps replenish barrier-associated lipids, improve moisture retention and enhance the softness, smoothness and comfort of dry or lipid-depleted skin. Its cholesterol-free composition further supports the development of sophisticated vegan skincare.
