Methods for Making Multilayered Vesicles

Status
Preclincal

Delivering active ingredients like vitamins, peptides, and botanical extracts is challenging. Many of these compounds are either unstable, degrade before absorption, or have poor solubility, making them less effective when applied topically or ingested.

Multilayered Vesicles

The Problem

Delivering active ingredients like vitamins, peptides, and botanical extracts is challenging. Many of these compounds are either unstable, degrade before absorption, or have poor solubility, making them less effective when applied topically or ingested.

The Solution

This technology creates multilayered delivery capsules that can carry both water-soluble and oil-based ingredients in one stable structure. These tiny, layered vesicles are ideal for protecting sensitive actives and improving absorption into the skin or body. The system allows for precise, sustained release—enhancing the effectiveness of many products.

The Opportunity

Whether in healthcare, consumer products, nutrition, or personal care, the ability to deliver active ingredients more effectively unlocks new product possibilities and improves outcomes. This technology provides a modular, scalable solution that can be tailored for different markets and use cases, enabling innovation across multiple sectors that depend on targeted, reliable delivery systems.
