Microencapsulation Platforms:
  • Lipocapsules®: clear shells surrounding a single, hydrophobic droplet or particle. Lipocapsules protect and stabilize cosmetic actives, allowing controlled release, and improved flow for easy application. They can be colored to create unique product features.
  • Lipospheres®: a polymer matrix delivering droplets or a dispersion of water-insoluble materials. Lipospheres manage a variety of cosmetic actives including hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials, provide improved aesthetics, and leave no residue after rupture.
  • Lipobead®: an extruded, spheronized matrix for managing water-insoluble liquids or dispersed solids. Lipobeads offer targeted release with extended hydration time and improved aesthetics with no unpleasant residue.
  • Lipoparticle®: a porous solid or substrate with high pore capacity or surface area. Lipoparticles manage both hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials by absorption or adsorption, while providing improved flow characteristics and the ability to convert liquids to solids.
