Biochem/physiol Actions

Phytosphingosine plays a vital role in the defense mechanism of the skin by exhibiting anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties. It elicits keratinocyte differentiation and is therefore, used as an active ingredient in the cosmetic formulations. PHS helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the membranes. It also regulates cellular growth and mediates the heat stress response of yeast.
