  cholesterol? To use in a Ceramide product

  Posted by johnsutw on October 2, 2014 at 10:38 am

  Hi alll,

  I am looking for cholesterol, to use with ceramides and free fatty acids.

  What sort of product should I be looking for?

  Is there any oil or butter that has a high amount of cholesterol (for a skin care product;-)

  Or is there a source where i can buy pure cholesterol?

  Thanks,
  John

  Lanolin is very rich in cholesterol. 

  Croda sells cholesterol:

  There are cholesterol derivatives as well. Exceparl IS-CE A for instance (Cholesteryl isostearate) from Kao.

  Not sure if you are interested in a blend but Evonik sell blends of Ceramides with cholesterol under the trade names Skinmimics and SK-influx-V.

  I have just placed an order for cholesterol NF, which was not easy as it is not in stock where I live. Thanks for the Skinmimics info, will definitely explore that more
