Sericoside Phytosome®

Phospholipids and Terminalia sericea Extract. Used in sun care products (gels and creams), after-sun products (gels, creams and lotions), soothing and lenitive products (emulsions, masks). Possesses an anti-wrinkle effect. The Physico-chemical characteristics of Sericoside Phytosome® and its ready dispersibility in water and oil virtually pose no limitations to the preparations of cosmetic formulations. Sericoside Phytosome®, dispersed in aqueous phase by a homomixer or a turboemulsifier, is suitable for incorporation into monophasic and biphasic systems at a temperature lower than 40°C in order to avoid thermal stress that might damage the phospholipidic chain. Sericoside Phytosome® is a patent complex between Sericoside and soy phospholipids. Terminalia sericea, from which Sericoside was isolated and extracted for the first time by Givaudan Active Beauty, has been traditionally used in Africa and Asia for the treatment of severe skin diseases. The adjective sericea, in ancient Latin, means "silky, smooth as silk".
