BergaCare™ SmartLipids Retinol

1 of 39 products in this brand
The submicron particles of BergaCare SmartLipids Retinol are consisting of a complex mix of solid and liquid fat compounds. They are carefully designed to obtain an imperfect crystal structure, so that Retinol is encapsulated and protected within them. Their melting point is higher than skin temperature allowing a continuous diffusion of the protected active. This new generation of lipid particles was developed to combine several advantages like restoration of the natural skin barrier, enhanced penetration, sustained and prolonged release of your valuable active ingredients.

    Product Background

    Retinol (vitamin A derivative) is one of the most effective ingredients available in adult acne and antiaging treatments. Retinol stimulates collagen production, accelerates cell reproduction and normalizes skin keratinisation for an improved cell renewal process.

    But being very light sensitive and unstable in diverse conditions like in contact with oxygen, heavy metals or acids, Retinol remains difficult to work with. Cosmetic manufacturers have to look for a good way to protect it and minimize its degradation.

    Moreover if Retinol isn’t used properly it can lead to skin irritation and side effects, which means that Retinol is in need of a carrier system to perform at its best

    Efficacy Study

    BergaCare SmartLipids Retinol

    Taking advantage of the very complex lipidic matrix building it, BergaCare SmartLipids technology allows a sustained release avoiding the one-shot concentration leading to the skin irritation potential of the powerful retinol.

    Thanks to its solid state, BergaCare SmartLipids will effectively protect the retinol against the outside aggressions and so preserve its integrity prior to release.
