Phytosterols

Phytosterols (Phytosterols) refer to a group of steroidal alcohols naturally present in plants. They are structurally related to cholesterol, but differ from cholesterol in the side chain structure. Phytosterols and their esters are well tolerated by the skin and mimic the function of cholesterol. In addition, they have a strong anti-inflammatory effect.
