A universe,
mere millimeters wide.
Sustainably made, microplastic-free particles that protect what’s inside, release it on cue, and make products people remember.
- A vitamin C serum that stays potent
- A toothpaste that cools as you brush
- Fish oil without the fishy aftertaste
- A shampoo with pearls you can see
- A foundation that turns to your shade as you blend
- Probiotics that survive the stomach
- A body wash with petals that spread into the lather
- A lip gloss with a soft pearl shimmer
- A drink mix that disperses evenly
This is an active ingredient.
Between the beaker and the body, it meets one challenge after another.

So we wrapped it up.
Meet microencapsulation.
It protects what’s inside. The outside is yours to design.
Color
A subtle accent or a little contrast. Start with the palette you imagine.
Size
Change the scale of what stands out. From a fine field to a visible pearl.
Finish
The way a particle catches the light changes the character of the product.
Shape
Petals, silk-like threads, or a shape you have in mind.
A different
kind of flow.
Fine dry granules for dietary supplements,
or keeping actives like pure vitamin C stable until the moment of use.
Then it gets
to work.
