Lamellar fluid cream: modern skin care
Lamellar cream-fluids represent a significant advancement in skincare technology, offering a unique approach to moisturizing and protecting the skin. Unlike traditional emulsions, which often rely on emulsifiers to create a stable mixture of oil and water, lamellar cream-fluids mimic the natural structure of the skin's lipid barrier. This innovative approach leads to several key advantages:
- Deep and Prolonged Hydration: Lamellar structures, resembling the layered arrangement of lipids in the skin, allow for deeper penetration of moisturizing ingredients. This results in more effective hydration and a longer-lasting moisturizing effect.
- Enhanced Barrier Function: By mimicking the skin's natural barrier, lamellar cream-fluids help to strengthen and repair the lipid barrier, improving its ability to retain moisture and protect against external aggressors like pollution and environmental stressors.
- Improved Delivery of Active Ingredients: The unique structure of lamellar emulsions facilitates the efficient delivery of active ingredients such as antioxidants, peptides, and vitamins deep into the skin, maximizing their efficacy.
- Lightweight Texture: Lamellar cream-fluids typically have a light, non-greasy texture that absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving no residue.
- Suitable for All Skin Types: Due to their gentle nature and ability to be customized, lamellar cream-fluids can be formulated to suit various skin types, including sensitive, oily, and mature skin.
Key Components of Lamellar Cream-Fluids:
- Lipids: These are essential for creating the lamellar structure. Common lipids used include phospholipids, ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids.
- Hydrophilic Compounds: These include humectants like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and sorbitol, which attract and retain moisture in the skin.
- Emollients: These provide a smooth, soft feel to the skin and help to improve skin texture. Common emollients include squalane, shea butter, and jojoba oil.
- Active Ingredients: These can include antioxidants, peptides, vitamins, and other beneficial compounds tailored to specific skin concerns.
Creating Lamellar Cream-Fluids at Home:
While the precise formulation of lamellar cream-fluids can be complex, basic principles can be applied to create simple, yet effective versions at home. Here are three recipes to get you started:
1. Basic Lamellar Cream-Fluid with Hyaluronic Acid

- Continue blending until a smooth, homogenous emulsion forms.
- Once cooled, incorporate hyaluronic acid.
- Store in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dark place.
2. Anti-Aging Lamellar Cream-Fluid with Vitamin C
-
Ingredients:
- Phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) – 2%
- Hyaluronic Acid (sodium hyaluronate) – 1%

3. Soothing Lamellar Cream-Fluid with Aloe Vera

- Hyaluronic Acid (sodium hyaluronate) – 1%
- Squalane – 5%
- Aloe Vera Gel – 10%
- Allantoin – 0.5%
- Distilled Water – 71.5%
-
Instructions:
- Follow the instructions for the Basic Lamellar Cream-Fluid, incorporating aloe vera gel into the lipid phase.
- Add allantoin to the cooled emulsion.
- Store in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dark place.
Recommendations for Use and Storage:
- Cleanliness: Ensure all equipment and containers used for preparation are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.
- Freshness: Use freshly prepared cream-fluids within 2-4 weeks for optimal efficacy.
- Storage: Store cream-fluids in a cool, dark, and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration can help to extend shelf life.
- Patch Test: Before applying any homemade cosmetic product to your face, perform a patch test on a small area of skin to check for any adverse reactions.
- Customization: These recipes can be customized by adding other active ingredients such as peptides, ceramides, antioxidants, and essential oils according to your specific skin concerns.
- Professional Guidance: For more advanced formulations or if you have specific skin conditions, it's always advisable to consult with a qualified cosmetic chemist or formulator.
