- INDUSTRY SOLUTIONS
Personal Care & Cosmetics
Whether it’s powder stability, ingredient functionality, or hydration performance, intrinsic sorption behaviours lie at the heart of good performance for most personal care products.
Our advanced sorption solutions provide detail mechanical insights into sorption isotherms & kinetics, swelling & hydration, vapor diffusion, and beyond, enabling researchers to develop desirable, effective, and safe products.
Key Challenges We Solve
Understanding moisture-material interactions is critical for pharmaceutical development and manufacturing
Product Stability
Measure moisture sorption behaviour to ensure stability of powders, creams, and formulations.
Hydration Performance
Characterize water uptake and diffusion to evaluate skin hydration and product functionality.
Ingredient Compatibility
Study sorption interactions between ingredients to improve formulation performance.
Packaging Interaction
Determine moisture transport properties to ensure packaging maintains product integrity.
