Liposomal encapsulation involves entrapping it within lipid vesicles called liposomes, which mimic the structure of cell membranes. Liposomes act as carriers, facilitating the transport of ceramides across the skin barrier and enhancing their penetration into the epidermis and dermis. This delivery system protects ceramides from degradation and oxidation, prolonging their stability and bioavailability within skincare formulations.

Likewise, nano-emulsions consist of tiny droplets of its oil dispersed in water, resulting in a stable and homogeneous formulation with enhanced skin penetration properties. The small particle size of nano-emulsions allows deeper penetration into the skin, reaching the underlying layers where it exerts their therapeutic effects. Nano-emulsions offer advantages such as improved spreadability, faster absorption, and a non-greasy feel compared to traditional emulsions, enhancing the user experience of ceramide-based skincare products.

According to the International Trade Administration data, Belgium’s pharmaceutical industry spends $1.64 billion (€1.5 billion) on R&D every year, equivalent to 40 percent of all private investment in Belgium. As a result, Belgium is home to 29 of the world’s top 30 pharmaceutical companies, including important subsidiaries of major U.S. companies such as Johnson and Johnson and Pfizer. Hence, the growing pharmaceutical sector and increasing disposable income in Europe will drive the demand for ceramides in the region.
