2. Liposomes at Work In a nutshell, liposomes are tiny bubbles made of phospholipids, which in turn are liquids that sit encapsulated inside a thicker liquid. In a lot of ways, liposomes act as balloons—when they come into contact with a surface, they break to deliver their contents. Liposomes occur naturally in the body, and their use in skin care and beauty products has become more prevalent as well. An Excellent Delivery System So many products promise to nourish your skin, but how well can the skin really absorb these performance ingredients? In short, the mode of delivery matters just as much as the nutrients a skin product contains. Fortunately, liposomes are an effective means of delivering nutrients directly to the skin. A study published in the Journal of Oleo Science, for instance, found that aloe vera leaf gel is better absorbed by the skin in a liposome format than a topical gel. Keep the Skin Moisturized Dry skin makes your face feel tight and even itchy. What’s more, lack of moisture makes your skin less elastic, thus making it more prone to fine lines and wrinkles—the tell-tale signs of aging. Here, too, liposomes can help rehydrate your skin and keep it looking plump and smooth. Lipids, or oils, are a major component of liposomes, and oils help fortify your skin barrier which prevents moisture from escaping easily. As such, liposomes are being used more and more in moisturizing products. Lock Out External Stressors Aside from keeping moisture in, liposomes can also keep external stressors such as sweat out. Liposomes create a barrier over the skin surface, which lso prevents sweat from getting into your pores. The less sweat on your skin, the less likely you’ll experience dullness and breakouts. Products with Liposomes Proper skincare isn’t just about pampering your complexion; it’s about making a commitment to keeping your skin healthy. And with breakthrough ingredients like liposomes, you are making an informed choice that will help keep your skin young- and healthy-looking. Page | 2
