CelluOil™ Lavender encapsulates lavender oil (48% loading) for long-lasting release, oil retention and a 25% cut in IL1A expression in vitro.
CelluOil™: Encapsulated Essential Oils for Better Skin Health
Essential oils are timeless, natural must-haves for cosmetic products. While brands are looking for more natural ingredients, these oils can be tricky to incorporate into the formulation process due to their volatilization and unstable character. Moreover, essential oils can also discolor formulas easily and overpower fragrances due to their strong odor, affecting the overall product.
CelluOil™ Is the Answer for the Cosmetic Industry
CelluOil™ are encapsulated essential oils made to facilitate their easy use in the cosmetic formulation process. By converting oils into a visible powder and adding them into formulas with no additional equipment or unnecessary additives, Tagra gives formulators the ability to use essential oils with a promise of fresh, long-lasting release upon each application, while avoiding any sort of formula degradation.
