Chemical description

Ceramide NS, formerly known under the INCI Name Ceramide 2, is the N-acylated sphingolipid consisting of sphingosine having the D-erythro structure linked to a normal saturated or unsaturated fatty acid. As opposed to the broader definition for Ceramide 2 which includes sphingolipids consisting of either sphingosine or dihydrosphingosine (sphinganine), Ceramide NS is limited to sphingosine-based ceramides.
