Liposomal technology that maximises bioavailability, protects active compounds, and transforms how therapeutics and cosmeceuticals reach their target — across every delivery format.
Stealth Health · Precision Delivery. Enhanced Performance.
01 · The Technology
Liposomes are microscopic spherical structures composed of phospholipid bilayers — the same architecture found in every human cell membrane. This biological compatibility is what makes them exceptional carriers: they fuse with cells naturally, delivering their payload exactly where it's needed.
Active ingredients — vitamins, peptides, pharmaceuticals, botanicals — are encapsulated within the liposome's aqueous core or embedded in its bilayer. This shields them from heat, oxidation, and enzymatic degradation.
The phospholipid shell protects the cargo during transit through the digestive system, skin barrier, or bloodstream — ensuring more active compound reaches the target site intact.
Because the liposome membrane mirrors natural cell membranes, it fuses with target cells far more efficiently than conventional delivery methods — enabling direct intracellular payload release.
Depending on formulation design, payload release can be immediate or sustained over time — enabling once-daily dosing, reduced side effects, and therapeutic precision.
02 · The Science of Less is More
Most active compounds lose 60–90% of their efficacy before reaching target cells. Liposomal encapsulation changes this equation entirely — enabling lower doses to achieve superior clinical and commercial outcomes.

03 · Head to Head
A direct comparison of liposomal versus standard delivery across the parameters that matter most to your formulation strategy.
| Parameter | Standard Delivery | Liposomal · Stealth Health |
|---|---|---|
| Bioavailability | 5–25% absorbed | 75–95% absorbed |
| Active Ingredient Protection | ✗ Vulnerable to enzymes, pH, heat | ✓ Fully encapsulated and shielded |
| Cellular Delivery | Passive diffusion — slow, inconsistent | Membrane fusion — direct intracellular |
| Required Dose | High — significant wastage | Lower — same or greater efficacy |
| Onset Speed | Slow (30–90 min) | Rapid (<15 min oral, instant topical) |
| Skin Penetration (Topical) | ✗ Superficial only | ✓ Transdermal, deep-layer delivery |
| Formulation Versatility | Limited formats | Creams, gels, liquids, capsules, sprays, foods |
| Side Effect Profile | Higher — excess compound systemic | Reduced — targeted, efficient delivery |
04 · Formulation Versatility
Liposomal technology integrates seamlessly across every delivery format — giving formulators and brand owners unparalleled flexibility without compromising performance.
05 · Industry Applications
Whether you're a CMO in pharma, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, or medical devices, liposomal technology offers a clear competitive advantage in product efficacy, formulation innovation, and market positioning.
