Dramatically Improving Upon Conventional Liposomal Systems The LyphaZome story actually begins with microspheres and 12 years of dedicated research and development. LyphaZome microspheres are made of phospholipid liposomes. Liposomes have become a well-respected form of carrying encapsulated ingredients into the skin. But not all liposomes are created equal :

LyphaZome vs. Conventional Liposomes Stability. Unlike product formulas that have added liposomes from other sources with no guarantee of stability or effectiveness, Dermazone formulas with LyphaZome technology have all undergone extensive stability testing, proven to be stable and active for two years from manufacture date. Concentration. Unlike other product formulas that commonly have liposomes in very small amounts (between 1-5%), Dermazone formulas consist of 60-65% pure microsphere concentration! Penetration. Other products have superficial penetration, no delivery of ingredients and no ingredient release to deeper layers of the epidermis. Dermazone microspheres penetrate within the stratum corneum, deliver and release their ingredients into the deeper layers of the epidermis. Sustained release. Dermazone microspheres begin releasing bioactive ingredients within the stratum corneum, then continue the release of the ingredients at the stratum granulosum over time. Effective size. Other microspheres are commonly 0.2-0.3 microns, too large to penetrate. Dermazone microspheres are 1/50th the size of human skin cells - .05 microns in size!
