Plant-Derived Lamellar Gel Network for Advanced Cosmetic Formulations

AliphaRice™ LGN is a 100% plant-derived, pre-engineered, self-emulsifying lamellar gel network chassis base. It functions simultaneously as a structural rheology texturizer, a clean-beauty emollient, and an active skin-barrier repair complex. By eliminating the need for traditional synthetic polymers or aggressive chemical surfactants, it provides formulators with an all-in-one, skin-identical formula on a chassis that simplifies produc on and shortens global clean-beauty development timelines.

PROVEN CLINICAL & PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS  

  • Stratum Corneum Biomimicry: The crystalline lipid bilayers physically replicate the natural “mortar” matrix of human skin (consisting of natural long-chain ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol), integrating instantly into the intercellular lipid layers to repair cracks without leaving a heavy film.  
  • Non-Greasy Rapid Shear-Thinning: Features advanced shear-thinning (pseudoplastic) properties. The structured cream holds its shape firmly at rest but melts smoothly upon skin friction, breaking down from a rich custard into a refreshing fluid that absorbs in under 20 seconds with zero white soapy drag.  
  • Trans-epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) Abatement: Forms an organized, breathable liquid crystalline shield over the epidermis, trapping moisture within the skin barrier while avoiding the suffocating, pore-clogging traits of traditional petroleum petrolatum or mineral oils.

SUGGESTED USAGE & PROCESSING GUIDELINES 

Recommended Formula on Dosage: 2.0% to 5.0% w/w as a functional active texturizer or rheology modifier; up to 100% as a complete standalone, turnkey clinical cream chassis. 

The Trade Secret Hot-Filling Protocol: To ensure a flawless, mirror-like top surface and prevent premature structural skinning or surface dragging during packaging, do not pour cold. Cool the commercial batch to 42°C or 45°C under low mechanical agitation, add any temperature-sensitive acids or preservatives, and immediately fill your final glass jars or cosmetic bottles while the lamellar matrix is warm and fluid. The network will smoothly self-level inside the final consumer container, crea ng a pristine, professional finish upon cooling.
