Creating submicron emulsions simply

Typically, manufacturing nanoemulsions requires plenty of time and the use of heat and high pressure equipment. With NanoGel, cosmetic formulators can achieve a full range of products using one basic formulation and a simple mixer or even a spatula.

Salvador Pliego, senior director of business development at TRI-K, commented: “NanoGel technology provides a simple process and system to create submicron emulsions from an easy-to-use, oil-in-water concentrate.”

Along with allowing formulators to create elegant, modern products with minimal effort, NanoGel offers other key benefits, such as minimised transepidermal water loss (TEWL), enhanced skin protection and penetration of actives, and an excellent skin feel. Three systems are currently available: NanoGel CCT, NanoGel CM and NanoGel UV.
