Cosmetochem has launched Liposome Herbasec, a novel range of standardised botanical extracts in a liposomal-based powder form. The liposomes in the freeze-dried dispersion of Liposome Herbasec are reformed when dispersed in water, re-encapsulating the concentrated plant extract.
Liposomes serve as carriers to the skin, increasing the bioavailability of the plant extracts. Phospholipids are the safest, mildest substances which allow the penetration of the plant actives into the deeper layers of the epidermis and avoid the use of solvents. Liposome Herbasec has the advantage of being manufactured from plant-derived, non-GMO raw materials from renewable resources and is water-dispersible, solvent- and preservative-free and conforms to BDIH standards. There are five extracts in the current Liposome Herbasec range which are standardised for specific phytochemicals. White and green tea are standardised for caffeine and total polyphenols, white hibiscus for fruit acids, guarana for caffeine and aloe vera is guaranteed aloin-free.
