Sesame Phytosterols 100 g

Plant-derived sterols for skincare and nutraceuticals

Sesame Phytosterols are natural bioactive compounds extracted from sesame seeds. Structurally similar to cholesterol, they play a vital role in maintaining skin barrier health and supporting cardiovascular balance when used in nutraceutical formulations. With multifunctional benefits, sesame phytosterols are increasingly valued in premium skincare, dietary supplements, and pharmaceutical innovations.

Physical characteristics and formulation properties

Sesame phytosterols typically appear as a whitish to creamy powder or paste. They are soluble in oils and lipid phases, stable in emulsions, and easily blend with botanical extracts, clays, and other cosmetic actives. Their antioxidant and barrier-restoring properties make them a powerful ingredient for advanced formulations.
