Developed “NMF-Integrated Liposomes,” a dual-action moisturizing solution for skin that “dries out soon even after moisturizing”

Published ・ Source Japan | PR TIMES

株式会社コーセー has developed “NMF-Integrated Liposomes,” which simultaneously take 2 approaches to dry-prone skin weakened by aging and other factors: NMF (natural moisturizing factor), which stores moisture inside stratum corneum cells, and liposomes, which rebuild the structure of intercellular lipids that are key to the skin barrier function. L-serine was integrated into liposomes that the company has researched for more than 40 years, and the capsule surface was made cationic, increasing the amount of serine penetrating deep into the stratum corneum by more than 200 times. In a 4-week continuous-use trial involving 23 people aged 60 or older, the skin’s moisture-retention capacity improved significantly after 2 weeks of use, and improved skin elasticity was also confirmed. Some of the research findings were presented at the 36th IFSCC Congress, held in Perth, Australia, from September 28 to October 1, 2026.

Facts

  • The product was found to increase the amount of serine penetrating deep into the stratum corneum by more than 200 times.
  • We focused on liposomes, which our company has researched for more than 40 years.
  • 30% RH, close to the average humidity of a desert
  • Healthy trial participants aged 60 or older (23 people)
  • A 4-week continuous-use trial was conducted.
  • The skin’s moisture-retention capacity was confirmed to have improved significantly after 2 weeks of use
  • Healthy trial participants aged 60 or older (23 people), who are prone to skin problems caused by dryness
