Poor solubility and stability of botanical compounds like menthol often lead to insufficient skin penetration and moisture retention. Ensuring effective transport of these actives through complex polymer matrices prevents loss of therapeutic efficacy.

Open comedones darken due to lipid oxidation and melanin exposure. Preventing this chemical transformation maintains aesthetic skin clarity without requiring physical extraction.

Acidic exfoliants and botanical oils often degrade or phase-separate when combined in topical formulations. Stabilizing these components prevents loss of efficacy and ensures product shelf-life.
