Glycosphingolipids

overview

It helps maintain a healthy skin barrier, improves hydration, and reduces signs of sensitivity, dryness, and dullness. It is beneficial for dry, sun-damaged, or compromised skin. Glycosphingolipids are a type of sphingolipid that contain a carbohydrate group attached to the sphingolipid backbone.
