Liposomes started in cosmetics. They are often in high end cosmetics to deliver fatty acids and other things. When fats are incorporated this way, the product is less "greasy" in feel.
Another supplement with a type of liposome delivery is curcumin. LongVida makes one that claims high absorption.

Here is a link to a Vit C liposome product:

What the liposome form does, is allow for better absorption of whatever is incorporated into it. These are micro fat globules usually coated with lecithin which acts as a "membrane".
It is much like the oil in mayo incorporated into tiny globules.
Now whether this form of delivery of Vitamin C will cure cancer...that is another issue separate from the delivery system. I guess we will have to wait and see if studies can be done to prove this and replicated several times.
At this time liposomal products are typically expensive. The cost of the patents and of manufacture, raise the price.
