Phosphatidylcholine (non-GMO sunflower derived, COSMOS approved) benefits the skin by reinforcing its natural lipid barrier, reducing moisture loss, and enhancing protection against environmental factors. Its moisturizing and soothing properties make it effective for softening the skin's surface and reducing irritation. Additionally, it promotes better absorption of other beneficial skincare ingredients while being compatible with a wide range of skin types.
Highly purified phosphatidylcholine and specialized formulation processes create lamellar structures mirroring the skin's lipid matrix: Medium-chain triglycerides, Squalane, Ceramide 3, Phytosterols (from Shea Butter), and Phospoholidids. Collectively it promotes skin barrier recovery while eliminating the need for traditional emulsifiers that can strip away essential skin lipids. The result is a gentle, irritation-free solution that helps maintain a healthy, resilient complexion.
