Liposomal Vitamin C Products in Coating Technology
In this field, Ethyl ascorbic acid and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate are the main products of ISFCHEM. These products are made more stable in functionality thanks to liposomes. A liposome is a small bubble (vesicle) made of the same material as a cell membrane. (they are lipid spheres consisting of phospholipids arranged together.) Currently, Liposomes can be filled with medicines and used for the treatment of various diseases and for beauty care.
Liposomes Have Three Basic Abilities:
• Protection of the Active Ingredients: Encapsulation in liposomes protects the active ingredients in the digestive system.
• Masking: Phospholipids mask the active ingredients so that larger amounts can be absorbed and escape the selective function of the small intestine.
• Absorption: Liposomes are preferentially absorbed at the intestinal wall, as they consist of phospholipids just like our cell membranes.
What is Liposomal Vitamin C?
Put simply, liposomal vitamin C is vitamin C which is contained within a liposome – a spherical vesicle containing fats. As vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it cannot be
stored in the body, so you will need to take food or a highquality vitamin C supplement that will provide vitamin C on a daily basis. Liposomes mimic the cell membranes within
the body, which is what helps to deliver the ingredients into the desired cells via the digestive system. Essentially, liposomes are a trojan horse for the delivery of vitamins!
So Why Do We Need Vitamin C?
Also known as Ascorbic Acid, vitamin C is essential for a number of different functions within the body, including:
• Assisting with the production of collagen and the amino acid, L-carnitine,
• Helping with the absorption of iron,
• Maintaining a well-functioning immune system,
• Reducing free radical damage to cells.
Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant and a tyrosinase inhibitor, an enzyme responsible for triggering melanin production As vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, it cannot be stored
in the body, so you will need to take food or a high-quality vitamin C supplement that will provide vitamin C on a daily basis. For this reason, liposomal vitamin C has a much
higher bioavailability compared to normal vitamin C.
The Antioxidant Power of Vitamin C in Liposomes
It is available in several vitamin C grades (Ethylascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) and helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, improves even tone and increases skin radiance in-vivo in only four weeks. ,
Ethylascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate is a kind of water soluble skin lightening additive. It is stable, non-poisonous, and superior grade additive in functional whitening cosmetics. Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can be used as gels, serums, lotions, creams and skin lightening, anti-aging and other skin care products.
Typical Use Level: 0.5% to 10.0%
Ethyl ascorbic acid has a much more stable structure than other coated types, which makes it more advantageous to use it in formulations.
