PHYTOSPHINGOSINE® (EVONIK)

Acne involves four main factors: comedone formation, sebum production, colonization by P. acnes, and inflammation. PHYTOSPHINGOSINE® acts strategically within this context by exerting direct antimicrobial activity against P. acnes and intense anti-inflammatory activity, reducing papules and pustules and helping to control the emergence of new inflammatory lesions.

Thanks to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory profile, PHYTOSPHINGOSINE® can also be used to address other skin conditions, such as atopic eczema, diaper rash, dark circles under the eyes, underarm odor, infected wounds, and athlete’s foot—always within the cosmetic/dermocosmetic context. These possibilities expand the active ingredient’s use in product lines for sensitive skin, delicate areas, and specific facial and body care.
