Oleosome Technology: An advanced delivery system
What are Oleosomes?Oleosomes are micron-sized droplets which are naturally present in some plant seeds; they act as reservoirs to hold the plant oil and vitamin E. The remarkable properties of these natural oleosomes have generated a lot of interest to extract and incorporate them in skincare products and take advantage of their sophisticated structure.ย Oleosome TechnologyOleosome technology is the next-generation encapsulation system. Through a large scale process in the lab they extract and isolate intact oleosome structures from plant seeds. These oleosomes are potent with beneficial ingredients on their own, however the formulators can take advantage of their structure and load these spherical olesosomes with active ingredients as well. Benefits…
