Description

SK-INFLUX® V MB is a skin-identical lipid concentrate, which restores the protective barrier function of the skin. It is a concentrated formulation, consisting of a multi-lamellar (membrane) system resembling the structure of the lipid barrier in the Stratum corneum. A concentrated mix of different types of ceramides, cholesterol, free fatty acid and phytosphingosine makes it an ideal ingredient for personal care products with unique barrier restoring capabilities.
Cholesterol is a key ingredient of SKINFLUX® V MB and essential for the performance of the product.

It contains a vegetal derived, semi-synthetic cholesterol that is chemically and physically indistinguishable from the animal-based product.
Application of SK-INFLUX®/SK-INFLUX® V MB will result in an enhanced moisturization and protection, ultimately leading to less sensitive and less dry skin
Depending on the type of skin and desired effect, it is used with concentrations varying from 1 – 15 %. However, for typical applications such as ageing and dry skin a dosage level of 3 – 5 % is recommended. Add to the aqueous phase of your formulation.
