Lipobelle Glacier 24h refreshing hydration with Swiss glacier waterRehydration and Protection of Skin Cells
against Heat Stress
Lipobelle Glacier is based on pure Swiss glacier water
encapsulated into liposomes.
Lipobelle Glacier water comes from one of the highest
sources of mineral water in Europe. It is impounded at
a height of 1800 m guaranteeing its purity and freshness.
The encapsulation of Lipobelle Glacier into liposomes
enhances its penetration into skin resulting in a deep
and long-lasting hydration. Moreover, phospholipids
which form liposomes improve the skin’s smoothness,
moisture balance and suppleness.
Lipobelle Glacier was shown to protect skin cells against
heat stress in vitro. In vivo, a long-lasting moisturizing
effect could be obtained by a single application. Thus
Lipobelle Glacier, which is ECOCERT approved, offers
purity, “Swissness” and freshness as emotional values
combined with proven hydration efficacy.
Claim Ideas for Lipobelle Glacier

Freshness, Pureness and “Swissness”
Water is the most precious gift from nature.
Lipobelle Glacier is based on pure glacier water
from Switzerland, the water source of Europe.
In the Valais Alps near Nendaz, Lipobelle Glacier’s
water spring is impounded at a height of 1800 m and
comes from a maximum altitude of 2400 m. It is one
of the highest sources of mineral water in Europe.
Only accessible on foot, this spring is located in a
designated water protection area guaranteeing its
purity and natural quality.
Skin and Dehydration
The water content in the skin decreases from the inner
layers to the surface (from 80 % in the dermis to 13 %
in the stratum corneum).
To maintain the corresponding water content in each
layer is of great importance to support the skin’s physiology
and integrity.
However, environmental stress factors (hot and dry climate,
wind, cold, sun-irradiation) and the use of aggressive
products can dehydrate the skin. Thus the skin tends to
loose its elasticity and radiance and dehydration lines can
appear. In addition, dehydrated skin becomes more
sensitive making it more prone to these daily aggressions.
Liposomal Glacier Water
for Refreshment and Hydration
Due to its high purity, Lipobelle Glacier water is the ideal
mineral water to refresh skin.
Its liposomal form enhances the penetration of water
into the skin and offers a long-lasting moisturizing effect.
In addition, the phospholipids which form the liposomes
are “physiological ingredients” as they are the major
components of skin cell membranes. That is the reason
why phospholipids are very well tolerated and improve
the smoothness and suppleness of the skin.
Lipobelle Glacier
Study results
Skin Cell Protection against Heat Stress The protective effect of Lipobelle Glacier against heat
stress was measured on normal
human epidermal keratinocytes.
Keratinocytes were incubated with different concentra- tions of Lipobelle Glacier and then
subjected to heat stresses at 39°C and 41°C for 21 hours. As a control, demineralised water was
used at the same concentra- tions. After this heat stress, cell viability was measured using an MTT
assay.
Results showed that Lipobelle Glacier protected cells against heat stress in a dose-dependant
manner com- pared to demineralised water.
24 Hours Hydration
In a study with twenty women aged from 25 to
60 with dry to very dry skin, Lipobelle Glacier
was found to significantly increase skin hydration.
A hydrogel containing 2 % and 5 % Lipobelle Glacier
and the corresponding placebo gel were applied once
on the inner side of the forearm. Skin hydration was
measured with a cutometer 2, 4, 6, 8 and 24 hours after
this single application.
Results showed that Lipobelle Glacier delayed the loss
of skin hydration after 8 and 24 hours compared to the
initial boost:
• Hydration remains at plus 22.9 % with 5 % Lipobelle
Glacier after 8 hours compared to only 9.9 % with the
placebo.
• After 24 hours, hydration with 5 % Lipobelle Glacier
is still increased by 10.3 % compared to only 1.2 %
with the placebo.
• These results are statistically significant compared to
placebo at p<0.05.
