Nanotechnology

· is the science and technology of small things.

· It uses the fact that the properties of many materials change when the size reaches the nanometer scale.

We use nanotechnology

· to improve the efficacy of pharmaceutical, cosmeceutical and nutraceutical actives.

We develop tailor-made nanocarriers:

· to improve the shelf life of chemically labile actives

· to improve the solubility of poorly soluble actives

· to improve the penetration of actives

· to increase the bioavailability of actives

Our carriers can be formulated in different ways, examples are:

· tablets, capsules, pellets

· creams, gels

· liquids, sprays, foams

The nanocarrier-based formulations can be applied in different ways, examples are:

· oral administration

· dermal administration

· ocular administration

· intraveneous administration

· pulmonal administration
