Microencapsulation for Personal Care
Microencapsulation technologies for the controlled integration of essential oils, fragrances, and other elements, such as natural repellents, into personal care products, with particular attention to stability, safety, and functional release.
IPS applies microencapsulation techniques to enable the integration of natural or functional active substances into substrates and materials intended for Personal Care. The approach focuses on controlled release, protection of actives, and compatibility with industrial processes and heterogeneous materials, thanks to the use of microencapsulated products for industrial applications.
Microencapsulation applied to Personal Care
In the Personal Care sector, microencapsulation enables products and devices to incorporate advanced controlled-release functionalities for actives, fragrances, perfumes, or other ingredients—such as natural repellents—without the need for direct topical application.
This technique makes it possible to act on the user’s personal environment, improving comfort, duration of effect, and overall acceptability of the final product, in accordance with the principles of microencapsulation technology.
Protection of actives and controlled release
Fragrances, natural repellents, and other ingredients intended for the Personal Care sector are often characterized by high volatility and sensitivity to light, oxygen, and heat. Microencapsulation makes it possible to protect these actives and define a controlled release kinetics, in line with microstructured systems for controlled release of actives.
- Protection of actives from degradation and premature reactions
- Gradual and prolonged release over time
- Possibility of activation by mechanical stimulus
Microencapsulated formats for Personal Care applications
IPS develops microencapsulated systems in different formats, selected according to the final substrate, production process, and required functional behavior.
Dry microcapsules in powder form
They result from a controlled drying process and are supplied as a fine powder. This format is particularly suitable for applications requiring long-term stability, ease of dosing, and integration into solid or semi-finished compounds.
- Standard sizes ranging from 100 to 600 µm
- Possibility of dimensional customization
- High protection of the encapsulated content
Microcapsules in aqueous suspension (Slurry)
They consist of microencapsulated particles dispersed in water, with uniform distribution and adjustable concentration. This solution is suitable for applications requiring a uniform distribution of microcapsules on surfaces, fabrics, or porous materials.
- Homogeneous and stable dispersion
- Concentration adaptable to application requirements
- Compatibility with coatings and surface treatments
