Why NanoBase™ is the Smartest Way to Bring a Nano Skincare Formula to Market
Why NanoBase™ is the Smartest Way to Bring a Nano Skincare Formula to Market
In the crowded world of skincare, “nano” is the new buzzword. But here’s the problem: most so-called nano formulas either don’t deliver—or aren’t really nano at all.
Bringing a true nanoemulsion to market typically means expensive lab time, unstable prototypes, and months of trial-and-error. That’s where NanoBase™ changes everything.
🚀 What Is NanoBase™?
NanoBase™ is a pre-engineered, phospholipid-based nanoemulsion developed by NanoVora™, the technology division of Pensive Beauty®. It’s designed to serve as a ready-to-use foundation for advanced skincare products—built on real nanoscience and engineered for deep absorption.
Rather than building a delivery system from scratch, NanoBase™ allows you to simply add your chosen actives and customize the viscosity to fit your vision. Whether you’re creating a peptide-rich serum or a barrier-repair emulsion, NanoBase™ accelerates development while maintaining elite performance.
🧪 The Science Behind It
NanoBase™ isn’t marketing fluff—it’s rooted in peer-reviewed delivery science.
Particle Size: The base is pre-emulsified to ~200 nanometers, well below the 300 nm threshold shown to enhance dermal penetration.
Phospholipids: It uses phosphatidylcholine-rich phospholipids, which naturally integrate with the skin’s lipid barrier for better absorption.
Delivery Mechanism: Instead of traditional encapsulation, NanoBase™ works by forming nanoscale oil-in-water droplets that deliver active ingredients through intercellular lipid pathways.
This mechanism is supported by studies like:
Cevc & Blume (2001), who demonstrated the superior performance of phospholipid carriers in topical delivery (Biochimica et Biophysica Acta)
Barry B.W. (2001), who outlined lipid barrier disruption as key to successful transdermal systems (Eur. J. Pharm Sci)
Lane ME (2013), who reviewed skin penetration enhancers and confirmed nanoscale carriers improve bioavailability (Int. J. Pharmaceutics)
⚙️ Classic vs. LUXE: Two Starting Points
NanoBase™ is available in two modular formats:
Classic: A high-water (~73%) nanoemulsion ideal for fast-absorbing, serum-style builds.
LUXE: A lower-water (~54%) structure for cream-style emulsion systems and richer textures.
Need something in between? Custom water-phase ratios are available to match your desired skin feel and viscosity.
💸 Why It Saves Time and Money
Most labs charge $6,000–$15,000 just to develop a nano delivery system. And that doesn’t include testing, shelf stability, or texture refinement.
With NanoBase™, you:
Skip delivery system R&D entirely
Cut 2–3 months off development time
Plug in actives and adjust texture without destabilizing the formula
Avoid common emulsion failures like creaming, separation, or particle growth
Whether you’re a startup brand or a medspa formulator, NanoBase™ gives you a ready-to-run foundation that performs like a system ten times more expensive to build.
🔬 Clinically Compatible
NanoBase™ has been tested and used with a wide range of actives including:
Peptides (e.g., SNAP-8, GHK-Cu)
Growth factors (e.g., EGF)
Niacinamide, DMAE, Sodium PCA
Oil-soluble antioxidants like tocotrienols
Bakuchiol and stabilized vitamin C derivatives
Its pH is optimized between 5.0 and 5.8, and it remains stable under high-shear homogenization—making it ideal for both lab-scale and commercial manufacturing.
🧠 The Bottom Line
NanoBase™ lets you skip the struggle and go straight to formulation. No guesswork. No instability. No wasted budget.
It’s not just a base—it’s your shortcut to building skincare that actually performs.
