Are extremly small Vesicles (50-200nm)
- Composed of phospholipids arranged in bi-layers
- Allow the encapsulation of hydrophilic and lipophilic substances (drugs, cosmetics ...) increasing their level of penetration and dispersal.
- Blend in with composition and structure of cell membrane interacting perfectly with cells, and achieving levels of penetration and dispersion never achieved before, employing active ingredients in their free form.
- Encapsulate active ingredients.
- Contains physiological lipids which repair the barrier function effectively (Ceramides, free fatty acids, cholesterol).
- The phospholipids interact with cell membranes.
- The phospholipids induce an effect in the surface to improve the look and feel of the skin.
- Allow the use of high concentrations without irritation.
- Allow deep action
Phospholipids, organized in bi-layers, fold around themselves and make a vesicle prepared for the encapsulation and transport of a high range of active ingredients.
The lipid bi-layer of liposomes resembles the structure of human cells, which ensures a high biological compatibility and security that allows the liposomes to interact (merge, dissolve ...) with cell membranes and release from within the active ingredients that it transports, giving us levels of penetration and diffusion of assets that have never before been achieved using active ingredients in their free form.
Distinct types of liposomes can be classified:
By size:
- Small · <150 nm in diameter
- Large · >150 nm in diameter
By number of bi-layers:
- Unilamelar
- Oligolamelar
- Multilamelar
