CER1(d18:1/28:0/18:2) 860861 N-[28-linoleoyloxy octacosanoyl]-D-erythro-sphingosine
N-[28-linoleoyloxy octacosanoyl]-D-erythro-sphingosine, or CER1(d18:1/28:0/18:2), is a specialized sphingolipid essential for maintaining skin barrier integrity and hydration. As a key component of the stratum corneum (SC)—the outermost layer of the skin—ceramides play a vital role in regulating water retention and protecting against environmental stressors. The lipid matrix of the SC is primarily composed of ceramides, free fatty acids, and cholesterol, which form a highly organized structure that prevents excessive transepidermal water loss.
Dysfunction in ceramide composition has been linked to a number of dermatological conditions, including lamellar ichthyosis, atopic dermatitis, and psoriasis.
