WHY WE LOVE PHOSPHOLIPIDS!

PHOSPHOLIPIDS - Nature's Anti-Aging Humectant Product effectiveness is our number one goal with our natural and organic private label skin care formulations. Each of our products is developed with proven active ingredients that actually make a difference in combating the signs of aging. 

Phospholipids are a favourite anti-aging skin care ingredient as it is one of the best naturally derived actives to help maximize hydration for all skin types. One of nature’s most powerful humectants, Phospholipids are naturally occurring in skin as a way of protecting the dermal layer from external stressors including wind, sun and chemicals by locking in moisture. Recent studies have shown that topically applied phospholipids, derived from soy lecithin, are very effective in mimicking and enhancing the skin’s ability to retain moisture and protect it from external factors. Two key benefits of phospholipids in skin care are that they are: Hygroscopic – they attract water from the surrounding air and hold water where an increased level of hydration is needed. Non-occlusive – they form a film to prevent water loss, and preventing normal cellular function.

Several studies have demonstrated the value of phospholipids in skin care – it is found that environmental factors (sun, wind, pollution) and the detergents and solvents, found in many non-natural skin cleansers, actually stripped the natural phospholipid content from the top layer of skin.

This loss resulted in a rough feel and a pitted appearance under a microscope. Importantly, the phospholipids in the uppermost skin layers cannot be replaced by natural cell function, as the top layer of cells no longer metabolize; they serve only as a protective barrier. Remarkably, the study showed that topically applied plant phospholipids restore the barrier function of the skin, protecting it from substances such as bacteria and harmful chemicals. Natural phospholipids contain relatively high amounts of linoleic acid, which play an important role in the human skin`s own synthesis of Ceramide 1, a lipid that is important for intact barrier function. As a result, skin care products can leave the skin soft, hydrated and protected.
