Phosphatidylserine

Product Description

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a high-purity, crucial phospholipid naturally found in cell membranes, playing a vital role in cellular communication and function. Sourced from plants via advanced enzymatic processes, this biomimetic ingredient offers a sophisticated approach to skin health and resilience. Its key advantage lies in its ability to support healthy cell signaling and membrane integrity, contributing to the skin's ability to manage stress responses. For formulators developing cutting-edge dermo-cosmetics focused on cellular health, anti-stress, soothing, and cognitive beauty concepts, Phosphatidylserine is a premier, science-backed active.

Product Uses

This advanced lipid active is ideal for high-performance, science-driven formulations:

• Anti-Aging & Cellular Health: A core component in serums and creams targeting cellular repair, resilience, and vitality.
• Soothing & Sensitive Skin: Used in formulations designed to calm irritation, reduce sensitivity, and manage skin's stress response.
• "Neurocosmetic" Concepts: Incorporated into products linking skin health with well-being and stress management.
• Barrier Support: Contributes to the overall health and function of the skin's lipid barrier.

Formulation Suggestions

The recommended dosage is typically 0.1-2.0%. High-purity PS is often a powder dispersible in water, forming liposomal structures or micelles, usually requiring adequate hydration time and potentially gentle mixing or homogenization. It can also be dissolved in specific solvent systems. Stability is pH-dependent; maintain formulations within a slightly acidic to neutral range (pH 4.0-6.5). Protect from oxidation by using antioxidants and appropriate packaging. Works well with other phospholipids and barrier lipids.
