Viablife TAPS

Product Overview

ViableCare TAPS is a high-performance cosmetic ingredient based on Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS), an acetylated derivative of phytosphingosine with excellent skin compatibility and multifunctional skincare benefits. As a sphingolipid-derived active ingredient, TAPS plays an important role in supporting skin barrier function, improving moisture retention, and enhancing overall skin condition.

With high purity, good formulation compatibility, and advanced biological fermentation technology, ViableCare TAPS is suitable for various cosmetic formulations, including barrier repair products, anti-aging skincare, soothing solutions, and eye care formulations.

What Is Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS)?

Tetraacetylphytosphingosine is an acetylated derivative of phytosphingosine and belongs to the sphingolipid family. Its unique molecular structure provides excellent skin affinity and allows it to work as a functional ingredient in advanced skincare formulations.

As a bioactive sphingolipid derivative, TAPS supports the natural lipid balance of the skin and helps maintain a healthy barrier structure. It is widely used in cosmetic products targeting hydration, skin protection, repair, and anti-aging performance.

Key Benefits of ViableCare TAPS

Supports Skin Barrier Function

A healthy skin barrier is essential for maintaining hydration and protecting skin from external environmental factors. ViableCare TAPS helps support the natural lipid structure of the skin and promotes skin barrier stability.

By improving barrier performance, TAPS helps reduce moisture loss and supports smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Enhances Moisturizing Performance

TAPS helps improve skin hydration by supporting lipid balance and reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). It contributes to long-lasting moisture retention and helps create softer, smoother, and more comfortable skin.

It is suitable for moisturizing formulations designed for dry, dehydrated, and barrier-compromised skin.

Provides Soothing and Skin Conditioning Benefits

Environmental stress and daily exposure can affect skin comfort and balance. ViableCare TAPS helps maintain skin conditioning and supports gentle skincare formulations designed for sensitive or fragile skin.

Its excellent compatibility makes it suitable for products requiring effective yet mild barrier support.

Supports Anti-Aging Skincare

As skin ages, natural lipid levels and barrier functions may gradually decline, leading to dryness, reduced elasticity, and visible signs of aging. TAPS helps improve skin conditioning and supports formulations targeting firmness, hydration, and overall skin quality.
