About Alpika Cosmetics
In 1991, several years before ecology and nano-cosmetics became trending, a small cosmetic company named ALPIKA was established. Three main principals form the basis of this brand: naturalness, science and efficiency.
From the very beginning, our idea was that every woman, regardless of age and wealth, could afford herself the proper beauty treatment at home. As a result, after long and meticulous research, we found the formulation for ideal beauty:
Liposome + natural ingredients = youth without injections
But what are these “liposomes”?
If we want to look smart, we can explain it with scientific wordings: liposomes are spherical vesicles, having one or more lipid bilayers. They are formed in a mixture of phospholipids and water.

This is off course all very interesting, but not very clear, is it? So let’s explain it more clearly by the following example:
Imagine, that every cell of your skin is a delicate flower that needs to be nourished and moisturized every day. However, this flower is covered by a glass flask, just like in the fairy tale of the Beauty and the Beast. And only a small fraction of the necessary moisture and useful ingredients can pass through. And sometimes it may happen that the flask accidentally breaks, and not only the useful components get on the flower, but also dirt and bacteria. It is at this point, that the liposomes come to our assistance. In fact, the shell of this marvelous sphere has the same structure as our skin cells (glass flask). And thanks to this, the liposomes can easily be embedded into the cell membranes and even penetrate them completely. Moreover, if we add different useful ingredients to them, we can restore cracks in the ‘flask’, moisturize and nourish the cells from the inside.
Sometimes, one and the same ingredients needs to be delivered to different depths of our skin. In that case, we use spheres of different sizes.

And what can be added to the liposomes?
A lot: there is a wide list of nearly 250, completely different, ingredients. Water-soluble (hydrophilic) components are enclosed into the internal water space of the liposomes. Fat-soluble (hydrophobic) components are enclosed into the bilayer lipid membrane, into the liposome shell.
Besides hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, plant extracts, phloretin, peptides, collagen, plant stem cells, vitamins E, D and A in various forms, and another two hundred components, are often placed in these tiny spheres.
That’s how science preserves youth and beauty!
Naturalness
As from the very beginning, the brand-creators were opposed against animal testing. And as per today we can assure you that not any cat, dog, bird, rabbit or fish has been harmed for the production of our cosmetic products. All research is done on infusoria. Our testing is absolutely harmless for the environment, which can not but please all nature lovers.
Scientific approach
The developments of our own ALPIKA laboratory are confirmed by 14 patents. Alposome is a new, improved version of liposomes. A complexly cross-linked nano-capsule contains a wide range of useful components: herbal extracts, peptides and amino acids, vitamins and proteins. The gradual release of these ingredients allows them to nourish your skin on all layers, even the dermis.
Efficiency
Nature has given to each of us a unique range of qualities and properties. ALPIKA helps all of us to emphasize our beauty and to preserve our youth, by offering care not according to age, but according to the characteristics of our skin.
