Description
About this ingredient
IO Liposomal Brightening Active is a liquid concentrate sold by the milliliter. A related listing on our site, this ingredient, vitamin C in liposomes, describes the concept: vitamin C carried in liposomes. Liposomes are microscopic vesicles made of phospholipids, the same family of lipids that forms cell membranes. Our product record lists this concentrate as added directly to the water phase during cool-down. The exact vitamin C form, its content and the full INCI are on the CoA for each lot.
Why vitamin C in liposomes
Vitamin C is one of the most popular brightening and antioxidant ingredients, but pure ascorbic acid is unstable in water and demands a low pH. Liposomal systems wrap the vitamin in a lipid shell that disperses in water and can help protect it during storage. They also feel soft and conditioning on the skin. For brands, this means a vitamin C story in a gentle, easy-to-use liquid.
Applications
Brightening serums, day creams, eye creams for a brighter look under the eyes, gel creams and sleeping masks are typical uses. This ingredient works well with Niacinamide and with Ceramide-3 in liposomes, another liposomal active. Explore more in our peptides catalog.
How to use it
Cool the base below 40 °C and add the concentrate with gentle stirring. Avoid long high-shear mixing afterwards. Keep the pH within the range on the CoA, usually mild. Follow the use level on the CoA.
Protecting liposomes and vitamin C
Two sensitive elements need care. Liposomes dislike high ethanol, strong anionic surfactants, high electrolyte levels and extreme pH. Vitamin C dislikes light, air, heat and metal ions. Choose gentle thickeners such as xanthan gum or hydroxyethylcellulose, add a chelator, minimize air incorporation and fill into airless or opaque packaging. Keep finished goods cool.
Measuring success in stability
Track color, odor, pH and viscosity at room temperature and in a warm cabinet. Vitamin C products that turn yellow or brown are oxidizing; if this happens, review the chelator, the packaging and the amount of air in the process. A slight haze in a gel is normal and shows the liposomes are present.
Compatibility
Liposomal actives are generally compatible with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, niacinamide, peptides and mild plant extracts. Avoid strong acids, strong bases, oxidizers, high ethanol and long heating. Copper peptides and vitamin C are best kept in separate products.
Positioning against pure vitamin C
Pure ascorbic acid serums are strong but demanding: low pH, quick oxidation and a tingling feel for some users. A liposomal concentrate offers a gentler, easier route, suited to daily creams and to customers who found pure vitamin C serums uncomfortable. Present it as a comfortable daily vitamin C experience rather than as the strongest option on the market. ## Characteristics
Form: liquid liposomal concentrate. Concept per our related listing: vitamin C in liposomes. Addition: water phase at cool-down. INCI, vitamin C form and content: on the CoA. Supply: milliliter packs.
Original recipe: liposomal vitamin C gel cream, 100 g
Phase A: distilled water 81.60 g, glycerin 4.00 g, sodium phytate 0.10 g, xanthan gum 0.30 g. Phase B: caprylic/capric triglyceride 3.00 g, polyglyceryl-4 oleate 0.50 g; premix and stir into A with moderate mixing. Phase C below 40 °C: IO Liposomal Brightening Active at the level on the CoA, here 5.00 g; niacinamide 3.00 g dissolved in a little water; panthenol 1.00 g; preservative 1.00 g; tocopherol 0.50 g. Mix gently and adjust pH to about 5.5. Fill into airless pumps.
Storage
Keep the bottle tightly closed in a cool, dark place; refrigeration helps. Do not freeze. Ships from Florida in milliliter packs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is IO Liposomal Brightening Active?
A liquid active described on our site as vitamin C in liposomes. Confirm the vitamin C form on the CoA.
Why liposomes?
Liposomes carry the active in tiny lipid vesicles that disperse in water and help protect sensitive molecules.
When should I add it?
At cool-down, below 40 °C, with gentle mixing.
What should I avoid?
High ethanol, strong surfactants, extreme pH and long high-shear mixing.
