PRUNUS AMYGDALUS DULCIS OLEOSOMES

Description

Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oleosomes, derived from sweet almond seeds, are innovative natural emulsifiers and delivery systems in skincare formulations. These microscopic lipid-based structures consist of a triglyceride core surrounded by a phospholipid membrane and embedded proteins. Oleosomes offer multiple benefits in cosmetic applications, including enhanced stability, improved texture, and efficient delivery of active ingredients.

The unique structure of oleosomes allows them to encapsulate both oil-soluble and water-soluble compounds, making them versatile carriers for various skincare actives. They contribute to the formation of stable emulsions without the need for additional synthetic emulsifiers, promoting a more natural product profile. Oleosomes also provide a controlled release mechanism, gradually delivering encapsulated ingredients to the skin over time.

In formulations, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oleosomes can reduce the overall oil content while maintaining moisturizing properties, resulting in lighter, non-greasy textures. They exhibit excellent compatibility with the skin's natural lipid barrier, enhancing product absorption and efficacy. Additionally, oleosomes demonstrate antioxidant properties, contributing to the overall stability and shelf-life of skincare products.
