LIPOSOME
TECHNICALS
Liposomes are small vesicles whose membrane resembles that of a lipid bilayer. In fact, liposomes can be created from the same types of phospholipids found in cell membranes. The internal layer of the liposome membrane repells water soluble substances, while the core of the vesicle has water compatible properties. Because if this, liposomes have the ability to simultaneously encapsulate and release substance blends with distinctly different solubilities of their single components .
​
Apart from therapeutic substances used, certain phospholipids themselves already possess intrinsic benefits beyond their role as carriers, with phosphatidylcholine standing out prominently. Phoshpatidylcholine serves as a pivotal structural support for cell membranes and forms a key component of bile micelles. Its application extends to liver regeneration and detoxification in cases of fatty liver disease and hepatitis, as well as arterial plaque clearance and nerve damage repair.
​
Liposomal technology not only has many quality advantages like protection of compounds and advanced metabolic delivery, it also presents an economic advantage in terms of favourable market trends over recent years..

At PlanaExquis, we work in a close partnerships with a state of the art liposomal encapsulation manufacture, thus being able to meet highly individualised customer requirements.
Transdermal Efficacy
Liposomes ranging in size from 31 to 41 nm demonstrate notably improved skin penetration, traversing the stratum corneum swiftly without experiencing vesicle rupture. Precisely sized nanoscale liposomes are optimal carriers for the transdermal administration of active ingredients
Liposomal Shelf Life
Liposomal Essential Oil formulations slowly increase their liposome size over time. They also release liposome enclosed oil content with time. This process starts after about six months and starts affecting shelf life after about one year.
Oral Uptake Absorption
Shields against the hostile conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, heightening oral uptake and absorption. Liposomes seamlessly integrate into cellular membranes releasing their contents directly into the cell, avoiding the digestive processes that often restricts absorption of compounds.
Cost Effective
Despite the increased production cost, liposomals have proven cost effective because lower doses are necessary to receive the same effects. This offsets initial production cost while at the same time yielding increased efficacy and marketing potential.
Oxidation and Heat
Liposomal encapsulation protects volatile and heat sensitive oils from breaking down through exposure to elevated temperatures over time , thereby protecting your product from rancidity for a significantly increased time period. Please Speak to one of our consultants for details.
Biomedical Advantage
Some liposomal essenstial oil formulations have shown superior medicinal properties compared to non-liposomal formulations. No matter if heightened anti-inflammatory or anti-parasitc effects, a substantial array of potential benefits has been mentioned in recent literature.
