Sphinganine is a naturally occurring, skin-identical sphingoid base, a representative of the class of amino alcohols, or long chain bases (LCBs). Sphinganine is a blocker postlysosomal cholesterol transport by inhibition of low-density lipoprotein-induced esterification of cholesterol and cause unesterified cholesterol to accumulate in perinuclear vesicles. It has been suggested the possibility that endogenous sphinganine may inhibit cholesterol transport in Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) disease. Sphinganine is a potent inhibitor of 5-α-reductase type I that prevents the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone, a key factor of androgenetic male baldness. As a cosmetic ingredient, sphinganine is well suited as a topical alternative for the improvement of scalp health and hair quality and anti-hair loss application. Sphinganine promotes differentiation and ceramide production in keratinocytes. Free sphinganine may serve as a dermatological and cosmetic agent by enhancing formation and maintenance of an intact epidermal lipid barrier, with beneficial effects for skin and hair care applications.

Sample Use Guides
Two identical studies using randomized, placebo-controlled,and double-blind designs with a 16-week treatment period wereconducted. The first pilot study was carried out on 32 healthytest subjects of both sexes (male/female and verum/placebo,ratio 1:1) testing a concentration of 0.2% sphinganine. Inaddition, a follow-up study was done on a total of 80 male testsubjects divided into three treatment groups (sphinganine concentrationsof 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.5%) and one control group.
