The delivery architecture behind
next-generation cosmetics.
NanoBase™ is a lecithin-based, tri-domain nano-delivery architecture that cosmetic brands, ingredient houses and manufacturers formulate their finished products on top of.
Nanoemulsion · Nanoliposomal · Nanomicellar | ~185 nm design target · DLS-characterized
Built for the people who build cosmetics.
One delivery architecture, three kinds of buyer. Find your path in.
A tech-forward base, ready to build on
Formulate a differentiated finished product on a documented sub-micron delivery architecture, without building the chemistry from scratch.
A spec’d raw material to add to your line
A characterized, INCI-nomenclature cosmetic raw material with a spec sheet and COA per batch. Distribution and reseller discussions welcome.
A scalable base you run independently
Spec NanoBase™ into client formulas and manufacture with standard equipment. Your process, your facility, your finished product.
What NanoBase™ actually is.
NanoBase™ is a cosmetic raw material, a lecithin-based carrier engineered at the nanoscale that you formulate your own product on top of. It brings the whole formula to sub-micron scale across three coordinated delivery domains. It is not a finished skincare product, and it makes no medical or efficacy claims. You add your actives, build your product, and your claims stay yours to substantiate.
Beyond HLB: 1949 logic, meet 2026 architecture.
Conventional cosmetics are still built on HLB theory, one macro-scale ratio balancing an emulsion. NanoBase™ is engineered across three structural domains at the nanoscale. A contrast in design frameworks, not a competitor claim.
Legacy HLB
- ▸A single macro-scale ratio balances the whole emulsion
- ▸Droplets commonly 1,000 to 100,000 nm
- ▸One hero ingredient may be encapsulated; the rest stays macro-scale
- ▸Delivery constrained by emulsifier competition
NanoBase™
- ▸Three nano-delivery domains coexist in one carrier
- ▸The entire formula brought to sub-micron scale
- ▸Actives self-partition by solubility, MW and charge
- ▸Engineered on DLVO colloid science, not HLB lookup tables
One carrier. Three coordinated domains.
A tri-domain colloid architecture in which nanoemulsion, liposomal and micellar structures coexist in stable equilibrium, so a single formula can carry oil-soluble, amphiphilic and water-soluble actives at the same time.
Nanoemulsion Domain
Sub-200 nm droplets carrying lipophilic actives with engineered kinetic stability that resists Ostwald ripening.
Nanoliposomal Domain
Phospholipid bilayer vesicles that mimic the stratum-corneum lipid matrix for biomimetic integration and steric protection.
Nanomicellar Domain
Self-assembled amphiphilic structures solubilizing hydrophilic actives, with pH-responsive core behavior.
DLVO. Ultrasonic dispersion. Vesicles.
The same colloid science behind lecithin-based vesicle technology used in cosmetics since the 1980s, refined for nanoscale batch control.
DLVO-engineered stability
Surface-charge and colloidal-stability design hold the architecture together: the modern replacement for HLB balancing.
Ultrasonic nano-processing
Controlled ultrasonic energy drives the dispersed phase to sub-200 nm and sets a tight particle-size distribution.
Phospholipid vesicles
Non-hydrogenated lecithin builds the liposomal domain, a biomimetic bilayer that integrates with skin-surface lipids.
Declared architecture. Every batch, documented.
Each batch is characterized by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and reported on a COA. You formulate on a known, documented base, not a black box.
A variant for every format.
One architecture, tuned across skin and hair chassis. Define your target format; we engineer the base it’s built on.
NanoBase™ Classic
Fluid, fast-absorbing architecture for lightweight serums and essences.
SKINCARENanoBase™ Luxe
Richer body for creams and moisturizers without sacrificing sub-micron delivery.
