Is Ceramide EOP natural?

Yes. Built from phytosphingosine, a fermentation product, and fatty-acid-esterified long-chain acids, both natural-pattern feedstocks.

How we scored it

N-acylated sphingolipid: phytosphingosine (fermentation-derived) + omega-hydroxy acid esterified with fatty acid, natural-pattern building blocks → total/total = 1.0.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Manufactured by chemically joining fermentation-derived phytosphingosine with a long-chain omega-hydroxy acid esterified to a fatty acid. The assembly is synthetic but the feedstocks are natural-pattern lipids.

In plain English

A lipid that helps rebuild and strengthen the skin's outer moisture barrier, common in barrier-repair moisturisers. It is made by chemically linking phytosphingosine, a fermentation-derived lipid, with a fatty-acid-esterified long-chain acid.

CosIng definition: Ceramide EOP, formerly known under either of the INCI Names, Ceramide 1 or Ceramide 1 A, is the N-acylated sphingolipid consisting of Phytosphingosine having the D-erythro structure linked to an omega-hydroxy acid which is esterified with a saturated or unsaturated fatty acid.
