Microencapsulation technology

It is an advanced technology that allows for the surrounding of tiny particles of active substances with a protective shell, which enables controlled release and protection of the core from external influences. In recent years, there has been increasing interest in biodegradable microcapsules, which represent an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional microcapsules, which often contain microplastics.

What are biodegradable microcapsules?

Biodegradable microcapsules consist of a core containing an active ingredient (e.g. a fragrance, a medicinal ingredient or a pesticide) and a shell made of materials that naturally degrade in the environment. This means that after use, the capsules break down into harmless components, reducing pollution and environmental impact.

Advantages of biodegradable microcapsules

  1. Environmental friendliness: Because they are free of microplastics, biodegradable microcapsules reduce pollution of soil and water sources. It is estimated that more than 42,000 tons of microplastics are released into the environment annually, so the use of biodegradable alternatives is key to reducing this problem. The capsules are alcohol-free and non-toxic, meaning they are safe to use on the skin and do not pose a threat to the environment.
  2. Controlled release : They allow for a gradual and targeted release of active ingredients, which increases the effectiveness of the products and reduces the need for frequent application.
  3. Widely used : They are useful in various industries, including cosmetics, agriculture, pharmaceuticals and textiles. For example, in cosmetics they are used for the sustained release of fragrances or active ingredients, and in agriculture for the controlled release of pesticides or fertilizers.

Using microencapsulation technology, coenzyme Q10 can be encapsulated into biodegradable microcapsules, which allows:

  • Protection of the active ingredient: Coenzyme Q10 is sensitive to light and oxidation. Encapsulation protects it from degradation, thus maintaining its effectiveness.
  • Controlled release : Microcapsules allow for the gradual release of coenzyme Q10 into the skin, which prolongs its action and increases the effectiveness of the cream.
  • Increased penetration : The small size of the microcapsules allows for better penetration of coenzyme Q10 into the deeper layers of the skin, improving the results of care.

Benefits of cream with encapsulated coenzyme Q10:

  1. Extended action: The gradual release of coenzyme Q10 ensures a long-lasting anti-aging effect on the skin.
  2. Ingredient protection: Microcapsules protect coenzyme Q10 from external factors,
    such as light, oxygen and heat.
  3. Increased effectiveness: Due to better penetration of microcapsules into the skin, the cream provides optimal results in reducing wrinkles and improving skin elasticity.

Biodegradable microcapsules are an innovative step forward in the cosmetics industry, combining scientific excellence with environmental standards. The face cream with encapsulated coenzyme Q10 is a great example of how this technology not only improves product efficacy, but also responsibly ensures sustainability.

Consumers looking for advanced skincare products can now choose a cream that not only supports a youthful appearance, but also contributes to preserving the environment for future generations. A sustainable future is in our hands – and in our creams.
