NioSkinTM Innovative Solution for Dermal Delivery Nioskin niosomes are a new and effective delivery system designed to improve skin penetration of natural ingredients. NIOSKIN ULTRA-FLEXIBLE NIOSOME The latest generation of skin delivery system. easy to formulate total natural compound preservative free Nioskin Active Ingredients are patented.
NIOSKIN TM ULTRA-FLEXIBLE NIOSOME The latest generation of skin delivery system NIOSKIN TM ARE NIOSOMES SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO ENCAPSULATE PHYTOACTIVES NIOSKIN TM TECHNOLOGY Biologically active molecules of natural origin are included in special natural vesicles to pursue an optimal bioavailability, enhancing skin penetration through the stratum corneum. The clinically tested positive effects of NioSkin are related to the high rate of absorption through the skin. A vesicle of O 100-200 nm, composed of amphiphilic molecules + an aqueous cavity suitable to incorporate large molecules as natural active compunds lipophilic active compounds can be associated with the bilayer hydrophilic active compunds can be entrapped in the acqueous cavity HIGH ELASTICITY AND DEFORMABILITY Nioskin vesicles are elastic and can squeeze through the pores in the stratum corneum performing penetration along intercellular routes. Flexible Niosome (100-200 nm) Lipid regions (20-40 nm) The bilayer of the ULTRA-FLEXIBLE NIOSOME is made by polyglycerols single-chain surfactant being elastic to maximized the penetration throught the skin. Corneocyte Epidermis Stratum Corneum (15 µm) 2015 The vesicle shape to size the pore and then return to the original shape in the deeper epidermis stratum. Small size < 200 nm and maximum flexibility enhance skin and mucosal absorption The active compound is directly driven into the epidermis cells = maximum efficacy. Liposomes Conventional Niosome Ethosomes Ultra-flexible Niosomes NIOSKIN TM Nioskin niosomes are highly hydrophilic and when applied on the skin help to secure an additional hydration, migrating into the water-rich deeper stratum of the skin.
