Ceramide NS

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss supplies high-purity Ceramide NS manufactured under strict GMP-aligned quality systems, ensuring consistent batch-to-batch performance for professional cosmetic and personal care brands worldwide. Our direct factory supply model delivers reliable bulk quantities with full technical documentation and free sample support.

Ceramide NS is a non-hydroxy fatty-acid ceramide used as a barrier lipid, formerly listed as Ceramide 2. There is no single CAS for the commercial grade. It is supplied as a white to off-white powder that dissolves in the oil phase when heated and is poorly soluble in water.

Barrier creams continue to specify this INCI beside Ceramide NP. Cosmetic-grade material is a practical bulk lipid when the COA states the assay.

• Fits multi-ceramide chassis beside Ceramide NP
• Used in face creams and body lotions
• Typical use level: 0.05–0.5% in leave-on formulations

Formulation Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to melt Ceramide NS into the oil phase.

• Suggested Use Level: Typical 0.05–0.5% in the finished formula
• pH Range: Suggested 5.0–7.0
• Addition: Add to the oil phase and heat until dissolved, typically around 80°C
• Stability: Recheck for crystals after cool-down
• Combine with Ceramide Np Powder when the chassis needs both Ceramide NS and Ceramide NP.
