The science of Microskin™

Microskin™ is a liquidised simulated skin
that performs in two distinct ways.

01

When the delivery agent of the Microskin™ film evaporates it leaves a waterproof film on the skins surface. The Microskin™ film is used to suspend active ingredient particles to which we use to develop the specialised and extremely unique range of Microskin™ products available today.

02

After the evaporation phase, the cellulosic and oil components in the Microskin™ film migrate towards the skins surface and partially enter the Corneum layer. This assists in binding the now dried Microskin™ film to the skins surface and provides exceptional elasticity to the Microskin™ film. As Microskin™ is formulated on more Lipophilic (Oil based) ingredients these components have a difficult job continuing further down the path of penetration in the Corneum layer due to the lower epidermal layer having a higher water concentration and therefore considered more Lipophobic (Oil resistant). As we all know water and oil do not mix easily – if at all.

Microskin™ is formulated from food grade ingredients.

The delicate balance of ethanol and natural oil-based substances in Microskin™ is what allows it to bind to the epidermis (the outer layer of skin), leaving behind a water-proof film on the skin's surface that acts, looks and feels just like skin.

The ingredients used to formulate Microskin™ are;

• Alcohol Denat

• Ricinus Comminus (Castor) Seed Oil

• Ethylcellulose

• Fumed Silica

• Sucrose Acetate Isobutyrate

• Rosa Eglenteria Seed Oil

• Aleurites Moluccana

• Natural Resins
