Applying Controlled Release Technology (Microencapsulation) in Cosmetics to Save Costs

Overusing costly active ingredients to compensate efficacy loss (over time, unwanted interactions...) is meaningless! It only increases the formulation cost. Understand how to efficiently use controlled release technology to achieve on-demand / long lasting release of actives (at lower loading) for targeted performance. Join this course and:

1. Save youself from reading numerous patents, books, and articles - Get a ready-to-use review by an expert!


2. Know when to choose one upon another for your skin care or hair care products by understanding each technology's unique properties & mode of action


3. Clarify why one encapsulation technology may fail in a specific application and how to tweak your cosmetics formulation for optimal results
