Benefits of encapsulation

• Protection from the external environment: Encapsulation protects active ingredients from light, heat, temperature, and free radicals that can cause deterioration.
• Prevent volatilization: Some active ingredients, like essential oil, have volatile components that can evaporate quickly after application. Hence, the encapsulation of active ingredients can prevent their volatilization and maintain their beneficial properties.
• Improved handling: Encapsulation can help improve the handling of active ingredients by converting liquid into solid or powdered forms.
• Enhanced stability: Encapsulation can protect active ingredients, thereby preventing degradation and contamination and eventually increasing their shelf life. In addition, this method secures the quality and effectiveness of the product, thereby it will last longer.
• Controlled release: The controlled release of active ingredients plays a vital role for skin-sensitive individuals. This is especially beneficial in the case of products that need slow release. This method ensures long-lasting effects and minimizes the occurrence of complications in sensitive skin.
• Increased shelf life: Encapsulation prolongs the shelf-life of active ingredients because it protects them from degradation and preserves their quality for a longer period.
• Enhanced visual effects. Encapsulation provides an enhancing effect when it comes to the active ingredient appearance in personal care products, for example, by encapsulation in the bead form, which improves the texture and feeling and leads to a better overall product's visual effect.
• Customized solution: In addition, encapsulation facilitates the controlled release of drugs. The color and size of the encapsulated active ingredients can be adjusted as per your requirements for the formulation.
• Enhanced solubility: While some actives in skin care have low solubility, which could potentially affect the formulation of the products. On the other hand, encapsulated active ingredients can dissolve in solvents that are compatible with all the ingredients.
