C6 D-threo Ceramide (d18:1/6:0) is widely used in skincare and cosmetic formulations due to its ability to enhance the skin's barrier function. It helps to restore and maintain the skin's natural moisture balance, making it effective in products aimed at treating dry, irritated, or aging skin. Additionally, it is utilized in research studies to investigate cellular processes, particularly those related to apoptosis, signaling pathways, and lipid metabolism. Its role in mimicking natural ceramides makes it valuable for both therapeutic and cosmetic applications.
