Liposomes can act as dermal delivery carriers due to their being small, unilamellar, and designed with membrane flexibility. Therefore, liposomes are commonly used in dermal applications, either as protective systems for active ingredients or for their moisturizing properties. The use of the liposomal drug-delivery system for cosmetics was started in 1987, but nowadays they are frequently used in several hundred commercials in various forms like gels, creams, and moisturizers. The lipids used for liposomes contain moisture; therefore, as the liposomal vesicle ruptures, moisture adheres to the skin surface providing hydration. By using liposomes, we are able to overcome some restrictions such as low penetration, solubility, stability, duration of effect and high side effects or costs, and improve some other characteristics.The incorporation of cosmeceuticals using suitable delivery systems is important in the management of cosmetic disorders.

CD Bioparticles offers quality liposomes products and services to support cosmetic formulation development for our clients. For instance, the Clipos™ Nanoliposomal Alpha Lipoic Acid (Clipos™ Nanoliposomal Alpha Lipoic Acid (Catalog: CDPR-0006), which has a particle size of less than 30nm, can enable the alpha lipoic acid to be steadily encapsulated in nano-carriers, greatly improving the absorption efficiency and bioavailability. Clipos™ Nanoliposomal Alpha Lipoic Acid is amphiphilic and suitable for both water-soluble and oil soluble system, allowing a wide range of uses. Alpha lipoic acid is an enzyme existing in mitochondria. Lipoic acid is effective in removing dark eye circles, wrinkles and spots. In addition, it enhances metabolism, improving the body’s blood circulation and making your skin enviously firm and delicate.
