Beauty From Within HA Gummy Stem Cell Face Serum Collagen HA Triple Boost in SPFs ("where any penetration is too much," opines Chillseyzn), and there are strong opinions on both sides of the debate. However, it's generally agreed that the product penetration potential of nanotechnology needs to be taken seriously and handled judiciously. Drone (hypertargeted) technology The goal for drone technology in skin care, says Dr. Jurist, is to "very precisely deliver actives into cells where specifi c molecules that attach to cell proteins 'signal' the encapsulated active, telling it where to specifi cally reach and interact." This new technology, says Asquith, "utilizes ligands [neutral molecules] that bind exclusively to the desired receptor," which enables the drone to penetrate. Just as certain ingredients can combine harmoniously in a single skincare formula, multiple delivery systems can be employed to optimize results. "For example, you can have the advantage of a time-release microemulsion as a base for the bulk of ingredients that can also contain microencapsulation to target actives more specifi cally, and keep them isolated if necessary for optimal potency, protection, duration and maximum benefi ts," says Dr. Jurist. According to Chillseyzn, most delivery systems would be viewed as "multiple" if they were broken down enough. "Nano systems and micro systems will generally need a carrier, such as an emulsion or an aqueous gel, so they will always be in a partnership," he says. "One example of multiple delivery vehicles would be the liposomal microencapsulation of a nanoparticle active delivery in an oil-water-silicone triple emulsion. Is that a thing? Probably not. But it's defi nitely possible." u Special Deliveries
