Liposome-loaded bio-actives are fundamental for cosmetics, classified as anti-aging. They bring our home beauty care one step closer to the quality work of the aesthetician. Liposomes reach parts where „the needle” cannot – our cells.
It is the future of cosmetics. In 5 years, no skincare product that wants to be considered a quality anti-aging solution would be without liposomes because of their vital role in bringing “spot-on” treatment and nourishment to the skin
Liposomes deliver a change of paradigm in skincare because even if we created our bio-actives in molecular sizes, few would survive shelf-life and significantly decreased potency.
Liposomes are carriers. Nanocarriers, to be precise. They were first discovered and developed for medicinal purposes to deliver the active substance (the cure or toxins) to the cell. These were one of the intelligent medicine that created so much fuss in science.
Liposomes are small micro vehicles/carriers that, within their structure, can load various materials to keep them preserved and undisturbed by oxidation or any other ingredients within a product. They deliver all ingredients safe and undamaged, passing through every barrier to the cellular matrix.
Liposomes are the best vessels we know so far to address two most significant concerns in cosmetic products:
1. How to keep the active ingredient active over the shelf-life of a product?
2. How to deliver this active ingredient to the deeper skin layers?
Cosmetics, never being very far from medical science, have quickly adapted. And rightly so. Skin, being our most significant organ of defense against environmental dangers, is nonetheless in our organism, always the last to feed. For example, if one takes Vitamin C orally, only 7% reaches the skin. Therefore, liposomes are a MUST-HAVE in cosmetics. They need to deliver topically what the rest of our organs and our structure usually consume before it reaches the skin.
Vitamin C – a powerful anti-oxidant brightens the skin and promotes powerful anti-aging. Anti-oxidant properties of Vitamin C are required for collagen production and youthful skin.
Cinnamon – restores the skin’s natural glow, balances skin tone, and brightens, all resulting in a flawless complexion. Cinnamon Liposome effectively delivers anti-oxidants to the skin while sequestering copper to down-regulate tyrosinase activity.
Melatonin – anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant protection of skin’s melatonin. Restorative powerhouse recharges skin’s radiance and reinforces its repair, renewal, and revitalization capacity. It minimizes inflammation, visibly reduces wrinkles, and defends against oxidative stress for a refreshed complexion.
Retinol – anti-aging powerhouse, restoring tissue, increasing cellular turnover, and instigating faster skin renewal and growth of new skin.
Q-10 – increases energy levels as it is involved in producing ATP, a molecule in body cells that functions like a rechargeable battery to transfer energy. Coenzyme Q-10 can also reduce ROS generation via the AMPK/PKC/NADPH oxidase signaling pathway; therefore, it can be used as a protectant and revitalize.
Caffeine – increases photoprotection, evens skin tone, and brightens. The anti-ox properties of caffeine protect the skin from extrinsic aging, as it can scavenge hydroxyl groups.
Zeolites are inorganic materials of volcanic origin. Clinoptilolite is a harmless zeolite for humans and animals that belongs to ion exchangers.
As an ingredient of the cream, clinoptilolite is physio-chemically modified to enhance its properties of efficient elimination of heavy metals and other harmful substances.
The skin is permeated with nerve fibers, has immune functions, and represents a barrier to the body’s exposure to toxic products.
Accordingly, zeolite’s effects on the skin manifest in maintaining normal immune function and reduced sensitivity to toxic agents.
