HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Phytoceramides by ProCaps Laboratories
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This softgel contains 2 active ingredients: biotin and phytoceramides complex. Biotin is a B vitamin that your body needs to metabolize food and keep your skin and nails healthy.
Phytoceramides are plant-derived lipids believed to support skin hydration and barrier function. The capsule itself is made from gelatin, glycerin, and purified water.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
Biotin is likely effective for biotin deficiency — a straightforward nutritional gap your doctor can test for. For other uses listed on this product (hair loss, seborrheic dermatitis, or multiple sclerosis), the evidence is either insufficient or suggests biotin may not help.
Phytoceramides' effectiveness isn't established in the data we hold.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Biotin is generally well tolerated because your body clears excess amounts through urine. High-dose biotin has rarely caused mild diarrhea in trial participants; one case report linked very high doses (10 mg daily) to a rare inflammation condition, but it's unclear whether biotin was the cause.
Normal dietary amounts and standard supplements are safe, but if you're considering high-dose biotin, check with your doctor first. Data on phytoceramides' safety isn't on file.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check. That said, we have no interaction data on file for phytoceramides complex, so check your exact medications with the search tool and confirm with your pharmacist or doctor if you're on anything regularly.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is a reasonable choice if you have a confirmed biotin deficiency or want to support skin and nail health with phytoceramides, though solid evidence for phytoceramides is limited. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any regular medications, or considering high-dose biotin for a specific condition, run it by your doctor or pharmacist first — they know your full health picture.

Formula
320 mg Phytoceramide complex 500 mcg Biotin
Andrew Lessman's Phytoceramides provide a concentrated source of plant-based Ceramides – lipid-based molecules principally responsible for our skin's ability to retain its moisture, as well as that of the entire body. Ceramides are the critical, moisture-preserving ingredients present in the stratum corneum of the epidermis of our skin. By creating a protective barrier in our skin, they retain our body's vital internal moisture, Phytoceramides are an effective tool for promoting radiant, soft, smooth and supple skin. Ceramides also defend our skin from damaging external factors and are an essential part of the skin's normal growth and repair processes. Unfortunately, aging results in reduced Ceramide levels, which contributes to dry, rough, irritated skin, as well as age-related wrinkles resulting from a loss of moisture-based skin elasticity. A Phytoceramide supplement is nothing more than a common sense response to age-related changes in the composition of our skin. Billions of dollars are spent each year on external moisturizers, but the most intelligent skin moisture program must begin on the inside where moisture is most effectively delivered and retained. The outside world may rob our skin of its precious moisture, but Phytoceramides provide Mother Nature's most effective internal moisturizer to promote radiant, healthy and hydrated skin. We also include 500 mcg of Biotin to ensure foundational levels of our skin's most essential beauty nutrient.
