Lamellar Systems

SLM Skin Lipid Matrix^® technology helps to maintain and restore the skin‘s natural protective barrier. Firstly, SLM nourishes the skin with its unique combination of essential skin lipids. Then, thanks to its high content of highly purified phosphatidylcholine and a special manufacturing process, lamellar structures are present in SLM that resemble the structure of the lipid matrix of the stratum corneum. This lamellar arrangement of lipids effectively supports skin barrier recovery, and because of this three-dimensional lamellar network, the cream matrix is stable without the use of emulsifiers, and an unwanted wash-out of skin lipids is prevented. We have shown that hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine will accumulate in the upper layers of the stratum corneum and by this form a protective layer.
