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.

Applications: Phospholipids Are Multifunctional Raw Materials for Cosmetic Formulations
Based on their amphiphilic character and their ability to interact with human skin, phospholipids can serve as actives for skin protection and skin rejuvenation, delivery systems for cosmetic active ingredients, and as emulsifier systems with perfect skin feel. They can form colloidal systems like liposomes or micelles, or even form lamellar structures mimicking the skin’s natural lipid layer.
Our products are easy to handle and to formulate with standard laboratory or production equipment, they are freely combinable with other cosmetic raw materials such as oils, thickeners, emollients, preservatives, actives, etc.
