| A win-win: your experience plus ours. We have been supplying high purity bases for over a decade. During that time, we have worked closely with professionals and partners through the developmental process. Today we supply numerous compounding bases and both in-office and retail products that use lipids. We welcome the opportunity to work with you. Our team of chemists and biophysicists can work with you with technical information. We know the physical and chemical properties of our products. |
| Our Microsomes(TM). Liposomes are lipid vesicles. They are formed when thin lipid films are hydrated and stacks of liquid crystalline bilayers become fluid and swell. The hydrated lipid sheets detach during agitation and self-close to form large multilamellar vesicles. These vesicles prevent interaction of water with the hydrocarbon core of the bilayer at the edges. Once these particles have formed, the size of the particles can be reduced through various methods. Properties of lipid formulations can vary depending on the composition--cationic, anionic, neutral lipid species. The general procedure is to prepare the lipid for hydration, hydration with agitation, and sizing to a homogeneous distribution of vesicles. When preparing liposomes with mixed lipid composition, the lipids must first be dissolved and mixed in an organic solvent to assure a homogeneous mixture of lipids. The production involves a temperature-controlled, high shear mixing system to achieve the liposomes of the desired size. Lipids and liposomes are used extensively in many formulations for over two decades. The most common use is a liposomal formulation of vitamins A, C and E. The next wave will be the orally ingested liposomes which show an effect on the skin, hair and body. Liposomes are uniquely suited for delivery of actives because of their ability to deliver water-soluble compounds in the same particle as water-insoluble compounds. Topical formulations of liposomal compounds remain popular. Lipophilic compounds such as cholesterol and ceramides, which have been used topically for many years because they are lipids found in normal skin tissue, are easily incorporated into liposomes. We are now able to supply you with more sophisticated compounds into liposomes. |
