HIGH SKIN TOLERANCE

THE UNIQUENESS OF PHOSPHOLIPIDS!

Phospholipids are skin-identical molecules as they are essential

constituents of the cell membranes of all living organisms that provide
unique technological and physiologicalproperties.

In a topical application, phospholipids present a particular affinity to

the skin with a strong biocompatibility and biomimetism for an
optimal tolerance.
