Cosmetic Liposomes — Pioneering the Microcapsule Revolution in Targeted Delivery of Active Ingredients
In the trend toward functional cosmetics, liposome technology, with its ‘smart encapsulation + precise release’ characteristics, has emerged as the core solution to break through the bottleneck in ingredient delivery. These nanoscale vesicles, composed of phospholipid bilayers (particle size 20–200 nm), are driving skincare products from the ‘simple mixing’ era to the ‘controlled release’ 4.0 era.
The Natural Advantages of Biomimetic Structure
The bilayer phospholipid structure of liposomes is highly similar to human cell membranes, forming a natural ‘biocompatible channel.’ Their hydrophilic inner core can encapsulate water-soluble ingredients (such as vitamin C and hyaluronic acid), while the hydrophobic outer layer can carry oil-soluble ingredients (such as retinol and squalane), achieving ‘biphasic co-loading of ingredients.’ Experimental data shows that vitamin C encapsulated in liposomes has 8 times higher stability, 210% higher transdermal absorption rate compared to traditional formulations, and 65% lower irritation.
Technological breakthroughs for multi-scenario applications
1. Anti-ageing and antioxidant field: Encapsulating Pro-Xylane in flexible liposomes enables the formation of an elastic sustained-release membrane on the skin surface, continuously releasing active ingredients for 72 hours. Clinical tests show a 45% increase in collagen synthesis efficiency;
2. Sensitive Skin Repair: Ceramide liposomes use ‘membrane fusion technology’ to directly replenish lipids in the stratum corneum, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) by 58% and achieving a 91% repair rate for sensitive skin within 28 days;
3. Sunscreen Enhancement Solution: UVB filters loaded into rigid liposomes can be uniformly dispersed in an oil-in-water system, reducing sunscreen migration to 0.3% and improving SPF stability by 30%.
Technological Evolution and Industry Trends
Third-generation liposome technology introduces ‘environmentally responsive’ design: pH-sensitive liposomes rapidly rupture upon contact with the acidic environment of acne-prone skin, precisely releasing acne-fighting ingredients; thermally sensitive liposomes trigger a phase change upon exposure to body temperature (above 34°C), enhancing the penetration efficiency of massage products. Our liposome raw materials are produced using microfluidic nanofabrication technology, achieving particle size distribution uniformity (PDI < 0.2) at an internationally leading level, and are certified by Ecocert as natural, making them suitable for ‘Clean Beauty’ premium product lines.
