What types of ingredients can be transferred by liposomes?

Color agents and preservatives
Hydrators, alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidants
Minerals and vitamins
Fragrances and essential oils

The correct answer is: Hydrators, alpha hydroxy acids, antioxidants

Liposomes are tiny vesicles that can encapsulate various types of ingredients, allowing for their delivery to deeper layers of the skin or targeted areas. The correct choice highlights hydrators, alpha hydroxy acids, and antioxidants as the types of ingredients that can be transferred by liposomes. Hydrators are essential for maintaining skin moisture and elasticity. Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are commonly used for their exfoliating properties, enhancing skin texture and tone. Antioxidants play a crucial role in protecting the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage, promoting healthier skin overall. When these ingredients are encapsulated in liposomes, they benefit from enhanced absorption and stability, allowing them to more effectively deliver their beneficial properties to the skin. Other options may involve compounds that do not provide the same level of efficacy or suitability for liposomal delivery, focusing on different uses or mechanisms that do not align with the primary functions of hydrators, AHAs, and antioxidants.
