In the world of beauty, true luxury is that which combines scientific perfection and aesthetic experienceo. This is exactly what microencapsulation does – an innovative technology that gives the active ingredients not only new power, but also tenderness and sophistication, suitable for a daily ritual.
What is microencapsulation?
Microencapsulation means that the active ingredients – from vitamins to antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 – are trapped in tiny protective capsules. These capsules protect sensitive ingredients from external influences, such as light, oxygen and heat, and enable their gradual and targeted release in the skin. (1*
This means that every application of the cream means not only a momentary sensation, but continuous care that lasts for hours after application.
Why it's luxury for the skin?
-
Gentleness without compromise – Active ingredients such as retinol can cause irritation. However, when they are microencapsulated, they are released gradually, reducing redness and skin sensitivity. (2*)
-
Long-lasting power - Sensitive molecules such as Coenzyme Q10 are otherwise very susceptible to oxidation. Encapsulation protects them and preserves their effectiveness until the skin really needs them. (2*)
-
Ritual of Elegance – Microencapsulated formulations are silky, light and gentle, so they do not burden the skin. Each application becomes a sensory experience that combines science and aesthetics.
-
Antioxidant protection – Q10 has been proven to reduce oxidative stress caused by UV rays and protect skin cells from damage. (3*) (4*)
-
Stimulation of collagen and elastin - Studies have shown that Q10 stimulates the synthesis of collagen types I, IV, VII and elastin in fibroblasts, which improves skin elasticity and firmness. (5*) (6*)
-
Even complexion – A systematic review confirms that topical application of Q10 can help reduce pigmentation irregularities and more even skin tone. (7*)
Conclusion
Microencapsulation is proof that luxury is not only hidden in packaging, but above all in technology and efficiency. With it, Elixiré creams become not only part of the daily routine, but part of a beauty story that combines innovation and elegance.
