Microfluidic fatty acid ester encapsulation: ChanelRecent Research Landscape

Unstable active ingredient delivery and pigment sedimentation lead to inconsistent cosmetic performance. Precise microfluidic phase control stabilizes bismuth oxychloride and fatty esters within the skin barrier matrix to ensure formulation shelf-life.

What technical problems is Chanel addressing in Microfluidic fatty acid ester encapsulation?

Bioactive ingredient instability

(13)evidences

Inefficient recovery of bioactive compounds from botanical sources limits industrial scalability. Improving extraction throughput and purity ensures higher concentrations of active ingredients for formulation.

Interfacial emulsion instability

(9)evidences

The presence of hydrophobic and hydrophilic pigments alongside fatty acid esters in aqueous formulations leads to phase separation and visual inconsistency. Preventing this degradation ensures uniform pigment distribution and long-term shelf stability in multi-phase cosmetic systems.
