Hundred billions of cells compose the human body and all living organisms. These cells are surrounded by an external wall - the MEMBRANE - mainly made up from essential lipids forming bilayer structures. The optimal activity of our cells is regulated by the membrane fluidity and permeability controlling exchange and metabolic processes with the environment.
These essential lipids are predominately polar lipids : PHOSPHOLIPIDS and GLYCOLIPIDS.
For the cosmetic industry, LUCAS MEYER COSMETICS has developed a wide range of Phospholipids and Glycolipids extracted from oil seeds, or other natural sources with specific properties to formulate innovative cosmetics.
Phospholipids and Glycolipids are surfactants which NATURE has developed for the creation of cell membranes and as such have technological properties together with physiological activity. They are able to stabilise creams and lotions without irritating surfactants.
The unique AFFINITY of membrane lipids to the skin enhances BIOAVAILABILITY of other active ingredients and provides controlled release to skin cells.
They are HYDRATING, restructuring, film forming, soothing and refatting ingredients.
PHOSPHOLIPIDS and GLYCOLIPIDS give a very rich SKIN FEEL to cosmetics.
Membrane Lipids are available in a wide variety of origins, purity, physical forms offering different properties for very specific applications. LUCAS MEYER COSMETICS have developed " systems " corresponding to the needs of the cosmetic industry. They allow the formulator a rapid choice of the right product for making high quality cosmetics.
Nature has taken advantages of the superior functionnality of MEMBRANE LIPIDS in our cells.
Why not follow the example and develop SKIN FRIENDLY products with nature's own choice and LUCAS MEYER COSMETICS?
