nPhytosphingosine

nPhytosphingosine contains phytosphingosine encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles averaging 200 nm. This size improves penetration into the animal’s skin and fur and ensures gradual release. After application, the nanoparticles form an occlusive layer that reduces water loss and supports hydration. Phytosphingosine is a natural sphingoid base in the stratum corneum that helps maintain skin health. Topical use increases ceramide levels and strengthens the barrier, which benefits dry skin and atopic dermatitis. Veterinary products for sensitive or atopic skin, such as shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and sprays, often include phytosphingosine.
