Nano Formulations Outperform, Every Time.
From global beauty brands to ambitious indie brands, clients choose us for one reason: Performance.
Our nanotechnology capabilities deliver faster absorption, deeper penetration, and up to *300% higher efficacy compared to traditional HLB formulation, without any regulatory hurdles.
Build your next high-performance product on a modern nano-delivery platform
Pensive Beauty® develops next-generation skincare and haircare formulas using our proprietary NanoBase™ delivery platform, designed to help brands achieve faster performance, improved stability, and cleaner sensorial outcomes versus conventional 1950’s HLB-based systems, which 90% of the industry is still relying on.
NanoBase™ Formulation Path With NanoBase™.
NanoBase™ is designed to overcome common limitations of legacy emulsions by improving delivery architecture at the foundation level.
Key advantages
More consistent active distribution, supports uniform performance across the application area
Broader compatibility, supports complex oil and water phase systems with fewer formulation tradeoffs
Stronger stability behavior, improved resistance to separation and performance drift under real-world conditions
Improved sensorial performance, smoother spread, cleaner absorption, less tack, less pilling
Performance framework
* Up to 300% higher active utilization in controlled benchmark systems built on NanoBase™
* Up to 300% improvement in delivery markers versus conventional emulsions
* Up to 300% increase in delivery efficiency under controlled test conditions
* Improved bioavailability, helping high-value actives engage the skin more effectively
* Performance figures are based on controlled benchmark systems. Results vary by active, dose, and finished formula environment. Final commercial performance depends on the complete formula built on top of the platform.
Key Benefits
Typical formulation lead time: 2 to 4 weeks
Compatible with modular Post-Phase Kits or fully custom active systems
Label and packaging support available, optional add-on service
Development tiers available: Non-Exclusive, Semi-Exclusive, Exclusive
Designed for scalable manufacturing, from small runs to large production
Traditional Formulation Path

Contact The Formulation Team
NanoBase™ is Pensive Beauty’s next-generation nanodelivery platform we formulate on top of to develop advanced, performance-driven formulations. Each NanoBase™ model is pre-structured for modern formulation workflows, enabling faster R&D, improved stability, scalable, and future-ready production.
The NanoBase™ Lineup
NanoBase™ Classic
A phospholipid-based nanodelivery system optimized for lightweight formats such as serums, gels, and essences. Designed to support both oil- and water-soluble actives with excellent spreadability, fast absorption, and consistent skin interaction.
NanoBase™ Luxe
A phospholipid-based nanodelivery system engineered for richer formats including moisturizers, masks, and treatment creams. Provides a more cushioned, nourishing sensorial profile while maintaining coordinated delivery and stability across complex active systems.
NanoBase™ Clinical
A precision-engineered nanodelivery platform developed for performance-driven and professional-grade formulations. Optimized for higher active loads, tighter stability control, and applications where delivery predictability, repeatability, and validation are critical.
NanoBase™ Cleanse
A nanodelivery architecture designed specifically for rinse-off and cleansing applications. Built to support effective cleansing while minimizing barrier disruption, maintaining lipid organization, and preserving delivery coordination even in wash-off formats.
NanoBase™ Cortex
An advanced platform in development focused on next-level delivery control and bio-interface performance. Designed to support formulations where barrier dynamics, response behavior, and precision outcomes require a more engineered approach than conventional delivery foundations.
Platform Overview
All NanoBase™ platforms are pre-engineered to approximately 200 nanometers to support uniformity, stability, and predictable behavior across batches and scale. NanoBase™ functions as a formulation architecture, not a finished product, and is intended for research, development, and manufacturing workflows. It is not designed for direct-to-consumer use as a standalone matrix.
