Formulating is about Excipients (Carriers)



One of the fundamental elements of the Anna Lotan Treatment Principles is that one must consciously formulate functional Carriers (Excipients) for products, rather than just focusing on “active components”.    At Anna Lotan, we focus on understanding and following the natural processes related to the skins metabolism, using them to our advantage as opposed to working against them.

The “quality” of a skin care product is equally about the active ingredients and the excipients (carriers) they employ.  In many cases, using the correct excipient can make a significant difference in the percentage of actives necessary to achieve the required goal.  For the esthetician and their clients it can mean better price/performance.  For the skin, this can mean less stress

In order to help our professional clients better understand our formulations, we now classify our products by Excipient Classes according to the table shown here.  The Ingredients for each product, which is made available to all Anna Lotan Skin Care Partners, now also shows the Excipient Class.
