Liposomes are most widely known as spherical vesicles composed of phospholipids with an aqueous core that can be used as the delivery vehicle. For example, some studies suggested that liposomes facilitate the passage of active ingredient across the stratum corneum and transport them to the deep layers of the epidermis where they are absorbed and needed most. Liposomes is not only an effective tool to help skin absorb active cosmetic ingredients, but also improve the stability of active ingredients, increase skin hydration by surface adhesiveness, enhance dermal bioavailability and skin targeting, and protect skin cells for external stressor, such as sun or sweat. Nowadays, those properties of liposomes have been already used in cosmetic products such as moisturizers, hair shampoos, creams, lotions, etc., resulting in a revolutionary uplift of cosmetic industry.
Liposomes are one of the most significant advancements in cosmetic science, transforming the way active ingredients are delivered and absorbed into the skin. These microscopic, spherical vesicles have the ability to encapsulate both water-soluble and oil-soluble compounds, ensuring their stable delivery to targeted skin layers. This feature makes liposomes highly effective in enhancing the performance of cosmetic and skincare formulations. Creative Biostructure offers high-quality liposome products that serve as a crucial innovation platform for formulators looking to elevate the effectiveness and appeal of cosmetics.
Advantages of Liposomes in Cosmetics
Liposomes offer numerous benefits in cosmetic formulations as ideal carriers for delivering active ingredients effectively and in a controlled manner.
1, Dual Encapsulation Capability: Liposomes can encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, making them versatile carriers for a wide range of cosmetic ingredients. This amphiphilic nature allows for efficient delivery of various actives, improving overall formulation performance.
2, Enhanced Stability: Liposomal formulations protect sensitive ingredients from environmental factors, such as light, air, and temperature, thus improving chemical stability and extending product shelf life.
3, Improved Hydration: Liposomes form a protective film on the skin, which not only provides an occlusive effect but also reduces transepidermal water loss. This results in better skin hydration and moisture retention.
4, Increased Penetration and Bioavailability: By interacting with the stratum corneum, liposomes enhance the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. This improves bioavailability and allows for the targeted delivery of actives to deeper layers.
5, Sustained Release and Reduced Toxicity: Liposomes can localize active ingredients within the skin, providing a depot effect that allows for controlled, sustained release over time. This not only improves the skincare effects but also reduces the potential for systemic side effects.
2, anti-wrinkle effect, to ensure the cohesion of the external epidermis, in order to protect the skin. The main components of keratin and cytoplasm, deep moisturizing, maintain keratin water content and structure, and provide cells with long-lasting water.
Rebuild the skin's barrier function. Adequate supplementation of the skin's necessary oil, return to the skin's original state of the skin by detergents and injured skin has a restorative effect.
