Composition: Aqueous biodegradable liposomal dispersion on phosphatidylcholine basis with zinc sulphate.

INCI: Aqua, Pentylene Glycol, Urea, Alcohol, Sodium Lactate, Phosphatidylcholine, Zinc Sulfate, Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sclerotium Gum, Disodium Phosphate, Potassium Phosphate.

Properties: Zinc is constituent of many enzymes - particularly of dehydrogenases and some peptidases. The zinc/copper containing superoxide dismutase (SOD) reduces superoxide anions (O₂^-) to peroxide anions (O₂^2-). Blemished skin and skin prone to acne often show low zinc levels. Zinc presumably influences the hormone metabolism.

Application: Additive for DMS^® base creams for the treatment of blemished skin. Local skin treatment by applying the pure concentrate.

Remarks: The concentrated active agent should be applied sparingly to the skin similar to dabbing in an ampoule product.

Liposome concentrates increase the effectiveness of the different components of a cream and if applicable, also the effects of skin pre- and follow-up treatments as they improve the penetration of other substances. Liposome concentrates make the skin very receptive for other substances and may at first leave a feeling of dry skin, which then will change to a feeling of a very soft skin surface.
