Liposomal Delivery Systems / Encapsulations

 Due to the skins impervious nature there are many ingredients that do not readily penetrate through the top dead layers of skin.   Because some ingredients target the deeper layers for performance there is a need to get these actives into those targeted tissues.  This created a need for ingredients to be developed in such a way as to enhance their absorption and there have been some real advancements in the chemistry to achieve those goals and enhance the absorption of these desirable ingredients through the skin where they can perform more efficiently.   There are a variety of methods employed to accomplish this task.  Several of which we carry, including liposomes and the revolutions which are designed with a lecithin backbone making them a healthy choice for the skin.  These liposomes / revolutions deliver the actives deep into the tissues where they go to work and improve the very nature of the skin. 

It is important to keep in mind that these delivery systems will enhance the absorption of the other ingredients in your formulas so they shouldn't be used in formulations containing those ingredients which are only considered safe due to their lack of absorption into the tissues, such as harsh preservatives and sensitizing agents.
