LECITHINS AND PHOSPHOLIPIDS FOR SUPERIOR COSMETIC PRODUCTS

Phospholipids are multifunctional, versatile, 100% natural ingredients with unique technological and physiological properties. As the main structural component of cell membranes, they have excellent biocompatibility and can be used in a multitude of applications in cosmetic formulations.

Characteristics of phospholipids: 

  • Absolutely natural
  • Excellent tolerability
  • Completely biodegradable

Physiological and technical benefits:

  • Natural increase in skin penetration
  • Barrier restoration
  • Skin rejuvenation
  • Perfect sensory
  • Excellent emulsifiers

PHOSPHOLIPID AS ACTIVE

  • Skin repair and protection

Hydrogenated phospholipids help repair and restore our skin’s natural protective barrier. They mimic the lamellar structure of the extracellular matrix and form a protective layer, thus preventing transepidermal water loss.

  • Skin rejuvenation

Unsaturated phospholipids are key molecules involved in the process of skin formation and renewal. As cosmetic active ingredients, they can significantly counteract visible signs of skin aging at a cellular level.

PHOSPHOLIPIDI AS A FUNCTIONAL INGREDIENT

  • Emulsifiers

Hydrogenated phospholipids are excellent emulsifiers, especially for oil-in-water (o/w) emulsions.

  • Texture Modifiers

Hydrogenated phospholipids provide a unique sensory experience, leaving the skin with an extremely pleasant and soft touch.

PHOSPHOLIPIDS IN DELIVERY SYSTEMS

  • Loaded carriers for cosmetic actives

Encapsulating cosmetic ingredients with phospholipids (in liposomal form or as a nanoemulsion) allows for a more efficient and controlled transport of active cosmetic substances into the skin. For hydrophilic actives, we recommend our liposome line; and for lipophilic actives, use our PhytoSolve® technology.

  • Empty carriers for cosmetic actives

Phospholipids naturally interact with the surface of the stratum corneum and are thus able to promote the penetration of active ingredients into the skin. For the delivery of hydrophilic actives, we recommend our Natipide products; for lipophilic actives, use our Phosal line.
