Presome R-3

Presome R-3, ceramide in a ready liposome system

Presome R-3 is a liposome precursor from Nippon Fine Chemical. When it is dispersed in water it forms stable lamellar structures, which makes it far easier to bring ceramide into a water-based cream or serum than working with pure ceramide powder. Buy Presome R-3 from a 10 g trial pack for $9.99 and scale to bulk packs up to 1 kg for production.

Why formulators use it

Ceramides are a natural part of the skin's lipid layer, and products with them are positioned for a smoother, softer, well-moisturized skin feel and a stronger-looking moisture barrier. Presome R-3 suits barrier creams, moisturizing lotions, serums for dry or sensitive-feeling skin and lip care.

Barrier-care partners

Combine it with niacinamide in a barrier serum, or with hyaluronic acid liquid for a layered moisture story. More lipid and moisture ingredients are in our cosmetic actives catalog.

Processing

Disperse the powder in the water phase with heating and good stirring, as the supplier directs, to form the lamellar dispersion before adding other phases. Follow the use level on the lot documents. It ships from Florida, usually within 1 to 2 business days, in the pack sizes shown above, and US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more.
