L2M – Enhancing Skin Care Efficacy and Stability with Development of Nanogel-Based Delivery Systems

Our technology surrounds the development of nanogel-based delivery systems to enhance the efficacy and stability of cosmetic products for skin care. Nanogels encapsulate active ingredients, protecting them from degradation and sustained release on the skin surface. This can act as a delivery system to ensure beneficial compounds’ controlled and sustained release, maximizing their impact. The nanogels are hygroscopic and can form a hydrating layer on the skin, improving moisture retention and providing a smooth, non-greasy feel, making them ideal for products like moisturizers and serums. The nanogels will be designed with environmentally friendly materials, reducing the ecological footprint of cosmetic formulations.
