TECHNOLOGY 02

Delivery Systems: carrying efficacy.

Microemulsions and spicules: advanced systems for delivering cosmetic actives. The most differentiating, high-technical-value category.

The category

Delivering an active well means carrying it where it's needed, stably and reproducibly. Our delivery systems — microemulsions (thermodynamically stable systems) and spicules (natural microneedle structures that enhance active penetration) — are designed for penetration efficacy, stability and application versatility.

It's an area barely covered by small players: here technical depth is our advantage. Some systems are already available (oily microemulsions of the Matemulse SL/LA ranges, liquid-crystal Mat LC Bead systems); other technologies are under development in our R&D lab.

An effective delivery system turns a good active into a demonstrable claim.
