SLC-3™ Skin Lipid Complex
SLC-3™ brings together lipid replenishment, barrier-aligned structure and ceramide-supporting care in one integrated approach to barrier support.
Three roles, one architecture.
Each dimension addresses a different part of barrier care.
Apart, three components. Together, one architecture — SLC-3™
The Sanava Difference
Inspired by the way skin is built to work
SLC-3™ takes its cues from the skin barrier itself - its lipid environment, its layered organisation and its own barrier-lipid processes.
A Multi-Lipid Beginning
Rather than building its lipid foundation entirely from isolated and recombined fats, Sanava begins with a single naturally multi-lipid source containing naturally occurring cholesterol and linoleic acid.
Barrier-Inspired Structure
A lamellar emulsifier system brings layered organisation to the formula, designed to echo the structural logic of the skin barrier.
Support From Within
Beyond the lipids supplied by the formula, niacinamide supports the skin’s own production of ceramides and other barrier lipids.
Three considered decisions. One biomimetic inspired approach to barrier care.
