PhytosteCol is a complex of encapsulated phytosterol and vitamin C to improve skin barrier function. Based on phytosterol delivery that provides 80% greater penetration into the skin thanks to lipid vesicles, it is a nutraceutical that nourishes and hydrates mature skin.
Encapsulated in a liposome-like vesicle, PhytosteCol is formed by phosphatidylinositol, phytosterol, and ascorbyl palmitate. Phytosterol is a simile of plant-origin cholesterol that mimics the function of cholesterol in the cell membrane.
In addition to being an active ingredient, it provides stability to the lipid vesicle. PhytosteCol also allows the encapsulation of other active ingredients of synergistic action with phytosterol.
PhytosteCol is a dual ingredient that acts as a release and an active system. It restores the cholesterol level in mature skin to restore the correct barrier function of the skin and increase its hydration. It ensures 100% rehydration after a 60% loss in mature skin
