Liposome

In the synthesis of liposomes, natural emulsifying compound lecithin is used. Lecithin is composed of phospholipid, major component of lipid bilayers in the cell membrane, and this component contributes to stability of liposomes in use through not only its emulsifying function but also through its ability to reduce irritation.
Recently, there have been researches in new formulation technology to produce liposomes in more cost-effective way, and some of the findings from these researches are used in the cosmetic industry as well.
Liposome technology possesses not only strong and effective transfer function of the active ingredients but also many other strengths, and thus are expected to be applied widely in future formulations of functional cosmetics.

Emulsion

One of the major active compounds in polyphenol contained in green tea is catechins, and researches on polyphenol, especially on (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate(EGCG) are actively in progress. EGCG, the strongest anti-oxidant in polyphenol, composes 40% of polyphenol and has been reported to prevent disease and have anti-inflammatory effects.
We have researched and developed W/O/W Multiple Emulsion Cream that contains purified EGCG as below.
