- Two “liposomal” ingredients can differ widely in size, uniformity and encapsulation.
- Ask for batch-specific size, PDI, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency, with methods.
- Confirm lipid source, stability data, documentation and certification scope.
- Lipologics supplies 39+ liposomal ingredients as ingredients — not finished products.
Why sourcing liposomal ingredients is different
A liposomal ingredient is not just the active plus a label. Its performance depends on the carrier — vesicle size, uniformity, lipid source and how well the active is held inside — so two ingredients with the same “liposomal X” name can differ widely. A good supplier can show you the data behind their vesicles.
A six-step evaluation
- Define the active and the format. Which active, oral or topical, liquid or powder, and at what dose?
- Confirm the carrier lipid. Plant-based or egg phospholipid? Ask about allergen status and source.
- Request characterisation data. Particle size, PDI, zeta potential and encapsulation efficiency — with methods.
- Ask for stability data. Size, leakage and active content over time and temperature.
- Check documentation. CoA, specification, technical dossier and regulatory status for your market.
- Evaluate scale and supply. Batch consistency, scale-up route and where manufacturing happens.
What to ask any liposomal supplier
| Ask about | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| Particle size and PDI | Average and distribution, per batch, with method |
| Encapsulation efficiency | How it was measured and the value achieved |
| Lipid source | Plant-based or egg; allergen and GMO status |
| Stability | Real-time and accelerated data for the actual format |
| Documentation | CoA, specification sheet, technical dossier |
| Certifications | Held today, with scope — never assume |
| IP and freedom to operate | Who owns the platform and on what terms it is licensed |
Red flags
- Only “typical” values, never batch-specific data.
- Results with no method stated, or a size given with no PDI.
- Certification or clinical claims with no documents behind them.
- Vague answers about the lipid source or who actually manufactures.
