Diagram of Nanomate Structure

Description: BioActive Nanomate is a new and stable nano-carrier for cosmetic active matters. It is a nano-colloid with a structure of monolayer membrane, composed of lecithin and co-surfactant at a certain proportion. The average particle diameter is 20~40 nm. Nanomate is clear and transparent with the unique blue fluorescence of nano-emulsion, and it is suitable for transparent systems such as water and emulsion. Nanomate can form a closure effect on the surface of skin and improves the moisturizing performance of skin. Its unique nano-biological effect facilitates the stability and absorption of biological active matters to let them function better. Compared with traditional liposomes, Nanomate is with a smaller particle diameter, a more balanced diameter distribution, a higher transparency, and a more stable structure.

Nanomate passes through the stratum corneum at a much higher rate and speed than normal liposomes, allowing the coated active matters to reach the deeper layers of the epidermis until it functions in the dermal tissue. Compared with other carriers of equal quality, Nanomate carries more active matters and can cover the skin better. Since it has a tapered stable structure of a co-surfactant embedded in the monolayer membrane nano-micelle formed by lecithin, it effectively hinders the exchange of the active substances in the nano-carrier core with other substances such as extranuclear surfactant, i.e., the destructive dissolution effect of something like surfactants towards the membrane of nano-carriers is effectively prevented. This enables Nanomate to maintain a high stability during formulation, storage, transportation and consumer use of cosmetics, and diffuse more effectively through the stratum corneum of skin to be absorbed or fused by epidermal cells.

Liposome (100-300nm)                Nanomate (20-40nm)

Compared with traditional emulsion, Nanomate is featured with a very small particle diameter and a strong adhesive effect. Nano-particles of Nanomate can form a good occlusion effect on the skin and improves the moisturizing performance of skin

Occlusion Effect

Compared with traditional large emulsion, nano-emulsion can penetrate to the depths of skin more easily.

Nanomate can effectively promote the skin to absorb active matters

Nanomate has a unique nano-effect that can effectively enhance the stability of the active matters in skincare formulations, thus helping maintain a sufficient content of active matters in skincare products during the shelf life. Nanomate can also effectively open up a channel for skin to absorb biological active matters and promote the absorption and function, thereby enhancing the efficacy of skincare products.

The smaller the particle size, the deeper the penetration and the greater the amount

NanoActive phytosterol is a new phytosterol nanoliposome preparation (NanoLiposomal phytosterol).
Product Name: Nano Liposomal Phytosterosl; Nanoactive PHYTOSTEROLS; BioaActive PHYTOSTEROLS; Soluble PHYTOSTEROLS CAS: 68441-03-2

Description: Phytosterol is a kind of substance with cyclopentane perhydrophenanthrene (also known as steroid nucleus) as its frame. It is similar in structure to animal sterols such as cholesterol, and is in free or binding state in nature. Known as the “key to life” and widely found in plants, phytosterol is a kind of natural physiologically active substances beneficial to humans. It can inhibit the cholesterol absorption of humans, promote the degradation and metabolism of cholesterol, inhibit the biosynthesis of cholesterol, etc., and has been found to have the function of inhibiting cardiovascular diseases in animal studies. Also, it is effective in anti-cancer, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, improving immunity, regulating growth, anti-virus, anti-oxidation, etc. In recent years, it has been proved that phytosterol has skincare effects such as anti-inflammatory, anti-irritation, moisturizing and anti-wrinkle. However, its poor solubility in water and oil, and demulsification when added in the formulation limit the application in cosmetics. The NanoActive phytosterol, developed with the nano-transmission system (NDS), has a particle size of less than 30nm, which solves the problems of solubility and enables phytosterol to be stably encapsulated in nano-carriers, thus greatly improving absorption efficiency and bioavailability.

Main component structure of phytosterol

Cholesterol is an important component of the epidermal layer of skin and plays an important role in maintaining skin health, but direct application of cholesterol to the skin can cause acne and inflammation. Phytosterol has a structure similar to cholesterol, so it can be used in skincare cosmetics to replace cholesterol. Phytosterol also has a similar effect to cholesterol on skin, which can increase skin elasticity and resist wrinkles, and help restore harmed skin. Compared with cholesterol, phytosterol is featured with the functions of anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, anti-irritation, etc. Recently, German studies have further discovered that (Hautarzt. 2008 Jul; 59(7): 557-62.) phytosterol can effectively inhibit the expression of the collagen-degraded matrix metalloproteins (MMPs), block the decreased synthetic expression of collagen COL1A1 and COL1A2 induced by UV irritation, and even promote collagen expression. Therefore, it has a good moisturizing and anti-wrinkle effect and is an ideal anti-aging active substance. With high permeability to skin, phytosterol can maintain the moisture on the surface of your skin, promote skin metabolism, inhibit skin inflammation, prevent sunburn erythema, skin aging, facilitate hair growth, and nourish hair.

Phytosterol completely inhibits sunburn cell production (MED: minimum erythema dose, UV units)

Use:Add it at room temperature. You may heat it to above 40 °C to speed up its dissolution; recommended dosage: 1-5%. It works better with products such as nano vitamin A and ceramide.

Storage: Keep it away from light at a temperature below 25℃.

NanoActive Lutein is a new lutein nano liposome preparation (NanoLiposomal Lutein).
Product Name: Nano Liposomal Lutein; Nanoactive Lutein; BioaActive Lutein; Soluble Lutein CAS: 127-40-2

Description: Lutein, also known as plant lutein, coexists with zeaxanthin in nature. It is the main pigment that forms the macular area of the human eye. Human eyes contain high amounts of lutein which can only be supplemented by the intake of lutein as human body can not produce this element by itself. Without lutein, human will lose eyesight. A natural carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits, Lutein is a good antioxidant that protects cells in human body from the damage of free radical. Lutein is good for vision health as it can resist sunlight, blue light in computer and cellphone screens, relieve eye fatigue, sore eyes, tears, myopia, and prevent eye diseases such as cataracts and maculopathy. The skin is the only barrier between internal and external environment for human body. Lutein also plays a role in filtering blue light and strong anti-oxidation for the skin, greatly avoiding the damage of light to skin cells and preventing various kinds of skin disease caused by intense light stimulation. The high-energy blue light from electronic screen inhibits the generation of melatonin, penetrates deep into the skin layer, damages collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, accelerating skin aging, and may cause bad skin conditions such as enlarged pores, dark circles and hemorrhoids. Functioning as blue light filter and anti-oxidation agent, Lutein is the most effective biological actives that protects the skin from high-energy blue light. NanoActive Lutein developed by new nano-transfer technology solves lutein’s problems including low solubility, low stability and tendency to lose or change color, which make it hard to apply in skin care products. It is a multi-effect skincare actives that is anti-blue light, anti-oxidation and anti-aging. Lutein also performs well in skincare products, eliminating ubiquitous blue light and free radicals.

• Effectively inhibits the formation of harmful free radicals, slows down skin aging, and facilitates bright and elastic skin;
• Absorbs large amounts of daylight, computer light, and office lighting to protect skin against damage caused by UVA/UVB and blue light.

A type of carotenoid, Lutein is a natural colorant or pigment. It is found in dark green leafy plants such as spinach, various fruits and corn. The egg yolk also contains lutein. Lutein nutritionally supports human eyes and skin. The eye is the only organ in our body that receives external light stimuli, while the skin is the only one that is directly exposed to the external environment. As an antioxidant, Lutein can eliminate free radicals in human body or reduce its damage. Excessive free radicals can cause various chronic diseases. Lutein can improve vision and also ensure the health of the eye by reducing the risk of macular degeneration. Lutein can increase the skin’s antioxidant capacity and help prevent free radical damage.

Lutein structure

Mobile phones and computers are now indispensable in urbanites’ lives. Smartphones and computers can cause the same damage to our skin as ultraviolet rays from the sun because the blue light emitted by the screen can inhibit melatonin generation and penetrate deep into the skin layer, damaging collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin, and accelerating skin aging. It can also cause skin problems such as enlarged pores, dark circles, and hemorrhoids.

Lutein is the most effective active against blue light damage. It can filter out up to 90% of high-energy blue light from the visible spectrum. Blue light is different from the commonly known ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B in the invisible light spectrum. Blue light can trigger oxidation reactions and cause potential free radical damage for human organs such as eyes and the skin that are exposed to both indoor light as well as sunlight.

Lutein mechanism

The antioxidant activity of natural lutein can protect skin cells, by preventing oxidation and free radicals from the very beginning, and working effectively to whiten the skin, remove freckle and wrinkle, moisturize, increase skin elasticity, glossiness and smoothness, and delay skin aging.

As it is a fat-soluble compound, Lutein is hard to be absorbed by the skin with ordinary emulsions. The lutein nanoactive material with a particle size of less than 30 nm developed by the nano-transport system (NDS)completelysolves the solubility and stability problems of lutein, allowing lutein to be stably encapsulated in the nanocarrier so that it hugely improves absorption efficiencyandbio-availability and becomes suitable for aqueous agent system.
