Features

Concept: Resilience rooted in nature of breast milk

Newborn skin is exceptionally delicate - up to five times thinner than adult skin - leaving it uniquely vulnerable to harsh environmental triggers like UV rays and dehydration.

Nature counters this sensitivity through breast milk, where 5'-CMP serves as the dominant nucleotide. In infants, this vital molecule drives lipid metabolism to fortify the protective barrier of gut epithelial cells. By capturing this natural biological wisdom, 5’-CMP transforms a fundamental mechanism of early survival into an advanced ingredient for modern skincare.

The product name of 5’-CMP is CMP,2Na-PC

The nucleotide science: Strengthening the barrier architecture

5’-CMP is 4,000 times smaller than salmon PDRN (1500kDa), which delivers unmatched skin penetration and bioavailability.

Functioning as a vital phosphate donor within essential lipid metabolic pathways, 5’-CMP leverages lipidomic research to optimize skin barrier mechanics. It selectively upregulates the synthesis of key epidermal components - phosphatidylcholine and long-chain ceramides.

In vitro lipidomic data using a 3D epidermal model confirms that 5’-CMP helps promote the synthesis of longer chain fatty acids. This marks a major advancement in skin repair: while compromised or atopic skin frequently suffers from shortened ceramide chains, 5'-CMP encourages longer-chain synthesis—resulting in a denser, highly resilient cutaneous structure.
