Description
L22 is Cargill’s patented formula of botanically-sourced lipids developed specifically to deliver the skin-lipid profile of a healthy 22-year-old. L22 is composed of a variety of lipid types which are carefully combined in the same ratio as those found on healthy young skin. L22 is more than just a mixture. We take botanical components and tailor them to more closely match the components of human skin-surface lipids. One important and unique step is the rearrangement of carbon chains between the triglyceride and wax ester components. This results in lipids that more closely resemble the natural components of human skin surface lipids. We then combine them in the proportions typically found in the skin surface lipids of a healthy 22-year-old.
