There are currently two developments in skin care. On the one hand, there is a move away from skin-damaging additives and the increasing use of physiological ingredients, i.e. substances that are endogenous or metabolised by the body without side effects. On the other hand, special attention is being paid to harmonising the individual substances and the overall compositions with the skin microbiome. Phosphatidylserine – a long-known component from the group of phospholipids – is establishing itself in skin care and fulfils both developments.
