Liposome EFA & MultiVitamin Complex

Liposome EFA & MultiVitamin Complex is a combination of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) (Linoleic and Linolenic), and Vitamins (B5 and E) in a Liposomal Delivery System (LDS).

The perfect complex of vitamins and nutrients for healthy skin and hair. Essential Fatty Acids are crucial for both healthy hair and healthy skin and they must be added through diet, and topical application, because the body needs them but can not produce them.

Essential Fatty Acids are important nutrients for the scalp where they improve natural moisture levels and in turn improve the health of the hair to reduce breakage, reduce frizz, and soften the hair.

Essential Fatty Acids are also important nutrients for the skin where they improve natural moisture levels for soft healthy skin which is critical for the skin to maintain its natural ability to fight inflammation.

Vitamins B5 (Panthenol) and Vitamin E are well known as the best overall hair vitamins where they improve shine and lustre, reduces frizz, and improve combability and detangling.

Vitamins B5 (Panthenol) in skin care offers anti-inflammatory benefits and is one of the best vitamins for reducing redness and improving the overall complexion and skin health. Vitamin E is critical as an anti-oxidant where it helps to prevent free radical damage and softens skin.


Liposomal Delivery Systems aremicroscopic vesicles that consist of an aqueous center with a phospholipid membrane. Phospholipids contain a glycerol bonded to two fatty acids and a phosphate group with a polar head. The fatty acid portion of this bio-molecule is hydrophobic and is located toward the outside of the lipid bi-layer whereas the phosphate group is hydrophilic and faces the aqueous interior. These phospholipid walls are identical to those that comprise other human cell membranes. Liposomes can differ in size, with a range in diameter between 150 - 3500nm, and they can be found in unilamellar and multilamellar forms. Unilamellar vesicles are small, exceptionally stable, molecules as they are formed via a high shear processing method. The Ingredients To Die For Liposomes are the Unilamellar structure and offer high stability for the incorporation into personal care products.

Liposomes are hydrated bilayer structures that are readily compatible with the peridermal lipids (the skin's primary moisture barrier) which exist as lamellar bilayers. Lamellar bilayers require less moisture to maintain their structure. When a Liposome fuses with the epidermal lipids, the epidermal lipid structure becomes overloaded with water and out of equilibrium. To restore equilibrium, the water and Phospholipid (+ the associated active) are rapidly churned throughout the top six cell layers of the stratum corneum, hydrating this structure. The extra moisture in the lipids remains for several hours, and greater penetration of the active occurs as it is rapidly carried down through the stratum corneum, with penetration stopping at the "end" of the living epidermal cells.
