Products with Phospholipids

Phospholipids are the lipid molecules cell membranes are built from, and they carry the actives in most of the Alastin formulas we stock.

Delivery vehicles, not just moisturizing lipids

A phospholipid has a water-loving head and two oil-loving tails, and that geometry is what lets it form the bilayer every cell membrane is built from. Cosmetic chemists exploit the same shape: phospholipids self-assemble into liposomes that carry a peptide or an antioxidant more evenly through a formula, and they condition the skin surface while they are at it.

Alastin accounts for most of this page, with Restorative Skin Complex, Regenerating Skin Nectar, Ultra Nourishing Moisturizer and INhance Post-Injection Serum. Nutrafol brings the same chemistry to the scalp in its Women's Hair Serum and Men's Hair Serum.

Are phospholipids the same thing as ceramides?

Both are lipids, but they differ structurally and sit in different places. Ceramides are a major component of the skin's outer barrier; phospholipids dominate cell membranes and, inside a product, often act as carriers. Plenty of formulas include both.
