5 Key Advantages for Formulators

🛡️

Solid Lipid Microspheres

Physicochemically stable and exceptionally safe for skin.

💧

Enhances Hydration

Clinically proven to significantly boost and retain skin moisture.

🧱

Supports Skin Barrier

Forms a breathable lipid film on skin to minimize TEWL.

🎯

Improves Active Delivery

Enhances solubility and penetration of bioactive molecules.

🌿

Versatile & Easy to Formulate

Room-temperature stable and easy to process in diverse cosmetics.

Microscopic Characterization

Lipid Microspheres Engineered for Skin

ShieldX™ is composed of uniform, spherical micro-particles formulated with skin-compatible, non-comedogenic lipids. Its precise particle architecture ensures non-greasy sensory elegance and high formulation compatibility.

1

1 µm Smooth Spherical Matrix

SEM imaging confirms uniform spherical shape with no sharp crystalline edges, guaranteeing smooth glide and velvety finish.

2

Homogeneous Dispersion Stability

Optical microscopy shows stable, monodisperse distribution preventing agglomeration across cleansing and emulsion bases.

How ShieldX™ Works

Combining surface barrier fortification with transdermal active penetration.

1

Breathable Lipid Film

Forms an ultra-thin, flexible protective film on the Stratum Corneum to seal moisture, dramatically reducing Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) without clogging pores.

2

Active Solubilization

Enhances the solubility of lipophilic and delicate botanical actives within its lipid core, preventing oxidation and maximizing active ingredient stability.

3

Stratum Corneum Permeation

Long-chain fatty alcohols (C16–C18) temporarily and safely modulate compact intercellular lipid arrays, facilitating deep permeation of actives into the viable epidermis.
