Cholesterol(plant-derived)

Cosmate^®PCH,is a plant derived Cholesterol,it is used for increasing the water retention and barrier properties of skin and hair,restores barrier properties of damaged skin,our plant-derived Cholesterol can be used in a broad range of personalcare products,from hair care to skin care cosmetics.

Cosmate^®PCH,plant Cholesterol by us acts as an emulsifier,spreading agent,emulsion stabilizer,skin and hair conditioning agent.Cholesterol is also acting as hydrating,moisturizing, nourishing, calming, soothing and anti-redness agent. It’s widely used in bath, shower products, creams, lotions, sprayable emulsions, lipcare, eye care, specific skin care treatments, sun protection and color cosmetics.

Plant cholesterol for a novel concept! Our cholesterol is obtained solely from phytosterols, one of the safest and most virulent-free cholesterol alternatives available, unlike animal-based sources from viscera and organs. With plant-based cholesterol, no animal viral carrying-and-infection risks are there, thus a higher degree of safety for human consumption. The environmentally friendly and sustainable production of the plant-based cholesterol is a great step ahead of taking animal cholesterol from lanolin. So, plant cholesterol is an environmentally clean and healthier alternative for others to enjoy. For health-savvy folks and ecosystem-sustaining ones!

Cholesterol is a vital lipid naturally present in the skin’s stratum corneum, where it plays a key role in maintaining the skin barrier and ensuring proper hydration. As a component of the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF), cholesterol is essential for healthy skin function. In skincare formulations, cholesterol is used to repair and strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration, and enhance the efficacy of other active ingredients. It is commonly derived from animal sources (e.g., lanolin) or synthesized for use in cosmetics.

Key Functions

1. Barrier Repair and Maintenance: Restores and strengthens the skin’s lipid barrier, preventing moisture loss and protecting against external irritants.
2. Hydration Support: Enhances the skin’s ability to retain moisture, improving elasticity and suppleness.
3. Anti-Aging Benefits: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by maintaining skin firmness and hydration.
4. Emollient Properties: Softens and smooths the skin, improving texture and reducing roughness.
5. Synergistic Effects: Works with other lipids (e.g., ceramides, fatty acids) to optimize skin barrier function and enhance the performance of active ingredients.

Mechanism of Action

Cholesterol functions by integrating into the skin’s lipid matrix, where it helps maintain the structural integrity of the stratum corneum. It fills gaps between skin cells, preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) and reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier. Cholesterol also regulates lipid organization and fluidity, ensuring proper skin hydration and elasticity. Additionally, it supports the synthesis of ceramides and other lipids, further enhancing barrier repair and protection.

Advantages

1. Skin Compatibility: Naturally present in the skin, making it highly biocompatible and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive and compromised skin.
2. Barrier Restoration: Effective in repairing damaged skin barriers, making it ideal for dry, irritated, or aging skin.
3. Versatility: Can be incorporated into a wide range of skincare products, including moisturizers, creams, serums, and barrier repair formulations.
4. Synergy with Other Lipids: Enhances the efficacy of ceramides and fatty acids, creating a balanced lipid profile for optimal skin health.
5. Non-Irritating: Gentle and non-irritating, making it suitable for use in products designed for sensitive or reactive skin.

Applications

1. Moisturizers and Creams: Provides deep hydration and barrier repair in daily skincare routines.
2. Barrier Repair Products: Used in formulations targeting eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions characterized by barrier dysfunction.
3. Anti-Aging Serums: Helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving skin elasticity and hydration.
4. Cleansers: Included in gentle cleansers to maintain the skin’s natural lipid balance while cleansing.
5. Sunscreens: Enhances the skin’s resilience and hydration in sun care products.
