Phospholipids – The Most Natural Way to Premium Skin Care

Phospholipids number among the body’s own building blocks and are an essential part of cell membranes. Therefore, they are highly biocompatible, completely biodegradable, and irritation-free, making them exceptionally suitable for sophisticated, high-end skin care products. Many of our phospholipids are based on non-GMO soy or on sunflower, making them suitable for COSMOS and NATRUE-approved formulations. In general, because of their naturalness and excellent tolerability, phospholipids are widely used in products for sensitive or irritated skin, baby care, and dermo-cosmetics.
