What is Liposomes?


Liposomes * Serve as a delivery system directly to aging skin cells Liposomes are, by definition, a tiny bubble (vesicle), made out of the same material as a cell membrane used to deliver chemicals in solutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liposome). This ingredient was originally developed to transport drugs through the body to treat cancer and other diseases, but cosmetics companies have began using Liposomes because of their unique ability to provide cells with critical nutrients and the nourishment necessary to promote collagen production. Serve as a delivery system directly to aging skin cells Functions: Liposomes are, by definition, a tiny bubble (vesicle), made out of the same material as a cell membrane used to deliver chemicals in solutions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liposome). This ingredient was originally developed to transport drugs through the body to treat cancer and other diseases, but cosmetics companies have began using Liposomes because of their unique ability to provide cells with critical nutrients and the nourishment necessary to promote collagen production. Liposomes are a popular ingredient in anti-aging products because of their ability to capture and deliver active anti-aging ingredients through the layers of skin right down to the cellular level where they can be most productive, according to the Skin Care Resource Center. They deliver nutrients directly to aging cells and have been shown to improve skin hydration, reduce fine lines, diminish wrinkles and improve texture. Safety Measures/Side Effects: There are no specific studies that warn against the use of Liposomes in beauty or skin care products, although it is safe to assume that cosmetics companies must use caution when directly transporting any ingredients to skin cells. Because Liposomes provide a direct pathway to vulnerable skin cells, they run the potential risk of transporting dangerous toxins if stringent guidelines are not followed in creating formulas that include Liposomes.

Preliminary studies indicate that liposome skin treatments can be highly effective in rejuvenating aging skin by improving skin hydration, reducing fine lines, diminish wrinkles while improving skin texture. Liposomes are an important component of many skin rejuvenation treatments because of the ability of liposomes to encapsulate active anti-aging ingredients and deliver them through the layers of skin right down to the cellular level where they can do the most good. This special delivery system serves to provide cells with critical nutrients and the nourishment necessary to promote collagen production. Liposomes are typically referred to and utilized as an agent in many anti-aging skin care products to convey nutrients directly to the skin cells. As summarized in the Skin Rejuvenation Treatments e-Learning Module, the Fact Sheet on Anti-aging Skin Care Ingredients identifies liposome skin care products as an anti-aging treatment that helps to improve skin by aiding in repairing a variety of aging skin issues. In essence, liposomes facilitate the delivery of active anti-aging ingredients through the skin layers so they reach the cells directly. Liposomes are typically found as a component of rejuvenation treatments that combine several selected active anti-aging ingredients into one product.
