- This material is a liposome precursor: always follow the diagram below to prepare the liposome solution.
- We recommend using BG as the polyol in the polyol phase created in Step 1 (polyol phase preparation). Using glycerin can turn the solution turbid and cloudy.
1. Polyol phase preparation. Homogenize the Moist Fullerene and polyol (70°C).
BG Recommended2. Addition to aqueous phase. Warm the aqueous phase to 70°C, and then add the polyol layer.
3. Liposome formation. Once the polyol layer is completely added, stir the mixture using a homogenizer at a constant temperature of 70°C.
4. Cool to at least 40°C.
5. Add thickener, other compounds. Add to creams, etc.
How to prepare the liposome solution (polyol dispersion):
Refer to the reference formula for mixing ratios and other details.- To stabilize the liposomes and stop them from depositing, add thickener or another compound to increase the mixture’s viscosity.
Photo: Liposome solution left to sit after preparation. Failure to enhance viscosity after preparing the liposome solution may result in sedimentation as in the left photo.
- For cream-based cosmetics, first prepare the cream, and then heat it to ~50°C before adding the liposome solution.
- Keep an eye on the solution’s pH (recommend: 6-8), since phospholipid structures can destabilize at high pH.
Helpful Hints
- Your liposome solution should turn out clearer and more translucent if you add PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil or another non-ionic surfactant with high HLB (0.1-0.2%) during Step 1 (polyol phase preparation).
A: Liposome solution + PEG-60 hydrogenated castor oil added. B. Unadulterated liposome solution.
