Minimising oxygen exposure Thermal control in critical process stages Protection against light during processing and storage Formulation optimisation: pH, matrix and compatibility Structural protection systems: encapsulation Comparison of encapsulation techniques Preserving the sensory properties of cosmetic extracts — including aroma, colour and freshness — requires a direct intervention on the physical and chemical mechanisms…
Read moreIndex Consumers’ priorities Factors Oxidation Photodegradation Thermal degradation Matrix interactions What are consumers’ priorities in cosmetics? Authentic aroma: The fragrance must faithfully reflect the original raw material and preserve its characteristic profile throughout the entire product shelf life, strictly avoiding the development of rancid notes. Reproducible texture and sensory perception: Every package, every batch and…
Read moreInnovation in the cosmetics industry never stops. New ingredients, more advanced technologies, and increasingly personalised formulations are shaping the way forward. In this context, nanotechnology stands out as one of the most promising tools for developing cosmetic products that are effective, safe, and sustainable. Within this field, nanoencapsulation emerges as one of the most disruptive…
Read moreThe growing demand for more effective, personalised, and sustainable products is driving the adoption of technologies such as encapsulation and microencapsulation. Both are widely used and valuable in sectors like food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Understanding their differences is key to selecting the most suitable technique depending on the intended application. In this article, we explain…
Read moreSkin care has evolved, and probiotics have emerged as strong allies in improving skin health. However, their application in cosmetic products presents significant challenges, particularly regarding the stability and viability of microorganisms during the manufacturing process and throughout the product’s shelf life. This raises the question: are probiotic cosmetics truly viable? Keep reading to discover…
Read moreAlthough chemistry plays a fundamental role across numerous sectors of our society, it is impossible to ignore that certain chemical compounds have a significant negative impact on the environment. Far from questioning the importance and progress that chemistry has brought to our well-being, it is time to shift our perspective and adopt more responsible and…
Read moreRetinol has become one of the star ingredients in skincare due to its proven effectiveness against ageing, hyperpigmentation and acne. However, its high sensitivity to light, oxygen and heat limits its stability and efficacy if not formulated properly. To overcome this, we turn to microencapsulation, an innovative technique that has become a key solution in…
Read moreThe ionic gelation method is a widely applied technique in the field of microencapsulation, particularly in sectors such as food and cosmetics. Its success lies in the ability to immobilise or encapsulate active compounds under mild conditions, while preserving their functionality, stability, and bioavailability. In this article, we explore in detail what the ionic gelation…
