Persea Gratissima Sterols are active lipid phytosterols from avocados that lessen the inflammatory effects of UV damage to the skin. This indicates that this natural ingredient may help prevent premature skin aging due to UV radiation.

Persea Gratissima Sterols also enhance moisturization and soften and lubricate the skin, leaving a very perceptible skin feel. It promotes better elasticity, increases skin smoothness, and lessens sensitivity to UVB radiation.

In advanced complexes, Persea Gratissima Sterols have a stabilizing effect on liposomes and are used in formulating these and other carrier-based systems. It is suitable for most skin care products—especially sunscreens and treatment-type products. Due to its lanolin-like nature, the product also has appeal as a vegetable-derived alternative to lanolin.
