Everything about liposomes.
Plain-language technical guides on liposome structure, manufacture, particle size and sourcing — written for formulators, manufacturers and curious readers.
Liposomes are among the best-studied delivery carriers in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals and skincare. These guides explain how they work, how they are made and what to ask before you specify one.
Each guide links to the specific liposomal ingredients it discusses — from liposomal quercetin and liposomal CoQ10 to liposomal vitamin C, curcumin and glutathione — and to the HNOVA™ platform that carries them.
Start with the fundamentals
Eight guides, from the basics to formulation, stability and a buyer's checklist.
What are liposomes?
Structure, types, history and where liposomes are used — the complete introduction.
Read the guide ComparisonLiposomal vs non-liposomal
How delivery format changes what happens to an active, and where liposomes make the most difference.
Read the guide ProcessHow liposomes are made
The main manufacturing methods, how size is controlled and what quality testing looks like.
Read the guide TechnicalLiposome particle size
Why 50–200 nm matters, and how DLS, PDI and zeta potential are read.
Read the guide Buyer's guideSourcing liposomal ingredients
A practical checklist for evaluating a liposomal ingredient supplier.
Read the guide FormulationWhy poorly soluble actives need a liposomal carrier
Many of the most-requested actives dissolve poorly in water and break down on the shelf. A liposomal carrier is one way to deal with both problems — if it is built and measured properly.
Read the guide TechnicalLiposome stability: shelf life, oxidation and storage
A liposomal ingredient is only as good as it is on the day you use it. Here is what changes over time, what slows it down, and how to read a stability claim.
Read the guide ComparisonLiposomes vs nanoemulsions vs micelles: choosing a carrier
Three nano-scale carriers dominate formulation briefs. They look similar on a label and behave very differently in a product.
