Delivery technology

How liposomes work

Liposomes are microscopic spheres made of lipids similar to those in the skin's own barrier. They protect delicate actives and deliver them to the upper layers of the skin.

  1. Protected

    Sensitive actives such as vitamin C are enclosed in a lipid shell that shields them from light and air.

  2. Delivered

    Liposomes carry active ingredients to the upper layers of the skin.

  3. Formula development

    Delivery technology is part of a systematic approach to skincare formulation.
