In Europe and Japan research into liposomes began quite early, and by the 1970s they were already being employed in drugs there. But it wasn't until the 1990s that they began to be used in cosmetics. Attentive consumers may have noticed that European, American or Japanese cosmetics that contain liposomes are invariably expensive.
歐洲、日本很早就開始進行微脂粒研究，1970 年代已經應用在藥品上，90 年代才應用在化妝品上，細心的消費者可以注意到，歐美或日本品牌化妝品若標示含有微脂粒，售價都很貴。
