Liposomes
Most useful for being able to transfer
and deliver active ingredients to the application site of cosmetics.
The liposome wall is very similar, physiologically, to the material
of cell membranes. When a cosmetic containing liposomes is applied
to the skin, for example, the liposomes are deposited on the skin
and begin to merge with the cellular membranes. In the process,
the liposomes release their payload of active materials into the
cells. As a consequence, not only is delivery of the actives very
specific--directly into the intended cells--but the delivery takes
place over a longer period of time. Liposomes are typically manufactured
from various fatty substances that are used to encapsulate, or to
create a sphere around, cosmetic materials. They act as a delivery
system.
