Sesame Phytosterols 10 g

Natural sterols for dermatological and therapeutic skincare

Sesame Phytosterols are plant-derived sterols obtained from sesame seed oil. Structurally similar to cholesterol, they are known for their ability to restore the skin barrier, reduce irritation, and support tissue repair. These properties make them highly valued in dermatological creams, therapeutic skincare lines, and pharmaceutical formulations.

Characteristics and formulation stability

Sesame phytosterols appear as a pale cream-colored powder or paste with neutral odor. They dissolve in oils and lipid phases, remain stable in emulsions, and are compatible with a wide range of natural actives and emulsifiers. Their regenerative and anti-inflammatory effects make them particularly effective in therapeutic skincare products.
