What is nanocube-V and ingredients for skin penetration?
Question
What is nanocube-V, the gel product from nanoegg that is claimed to enhance ingredient penetration into the skin? Are there other ingredients or technologies available that provide similar enhanced skin penetration or delivery of active substances?
Answer
What is nanocube-V?
Based on the information from the forum discussion, "nanocube-V" appears to be a gel product from a Japanese company named nanoegg. It is claimed to enhance the penetration of ingredients into the skin. However, the discussion also notes a lack of independent research to support these claims, with testing primarily conducted by the manufacturer.
While we do not have "nanocube-V" specifically in our database, the concept relates to cosmetic ingredients or technologies that improve skin penetration or delivery of active substances. We offer several ingredients that serve similar purposes, utilizing different mechanisms to enhance absorption or provide controlled release:
- Tetrahydropiperine (Natural Penetration Enhancer): A natural extract from black pepper known for its ability to help transport various ingredients into the skin.
- Reservoir-Tech: This ingredient works differently by forming a film on the skin that helps retain active ingredients and release them gradually. This can help reduce irritation from potent ingredients like AHAs and provide a longer-lasting effect.
- NanoRes™ (Liposome 4-Butyl Resorcinol, Nano Size): This is an example of using liposome encapsulation technology in nano size to improve the stability and absorption of active ingredients like 4-Butyl Resorcinol.
- Ceracare™ Liposome-3 (Liposome Ceramide Complex, 3 Types): Utilizes liposome nanoformulation to enhance the bioavailability and absorption of ceramides and other lipids, helping to repair the skin barrier.
- Gin-K™ (Compound K 500ppm Encapsulated Base): An encapsulated form of Compound K (from ginseng) using Cyclodextrin to make it water-soluble and improve its absorption into the skin.
- Skin-Barrier™ (Skin Barrier Restoration, Skin Mimic Ceramides Liposome): Uses liposomal ceramides in a micro-emulsion form designed to mimic the skin's natural lipid structure, enhancing absorption for barrier restoration and hydration.
These examples illustrate various approaches to improving ingredient delivery and efficacy in cosmetic formulations, which is the function attributed to "nanocube-V" in the forum discussion.
