Formulas That Outperform, Every Time

From global skincare brands to ambitious startups, clients choose us for one reason: results.

Our NanoBase™ technology and formulation services deliver faster absorption, deeper penetration, and up to 300% more performance than the the age-old standard formulations that are still sitting on the shelves today..

Have Us Expertly Formulate Your Next Cutting Edge Formula with Nanotechnology - Up To 3x Performance Increase Over Traditional Formulations.

NanoBase is our proprietary nanoemulsion system developed to support next-gen skincare & haircare formulation. With a consistent particle size of 125-200 nanometers (depending on formula), it aids in deep delivery of actives and the uniform dispersion of functional ingredients, while supporting emulsion stability across various formulation types.

Originally developed as an internal formulation platform for our NanoVora concept line, NanoBase™ is now available for R&D & formulation use by internally & to our clients. It is used as a base and is not by itself a finished product intended for direct-to-consumer use.

NanoBase™ offers a threefold effect for formulation development:

1. Supports even dispersion of actives throughout the base

2. Improves phase compatibility for both oil- and water-based ingredients

3. Enhances texture, stability and depth penetration for a smooth, consistent high performing finished product

✅ Typical formulation lead time: 4-8 weeks

✅ Compatible with modular Post-Phase Kits or custom actives

✅ Custom label and packaging options available

✅ Available under Semi-Exclusive or Exclusive development tiers

✅ Designed for future use in a cGMP-compliant, FDA-registered facility

✅ Scalable for both small-batch and larger production runs


Formulate Your Own with NanoBase™

NanoBase™ is Pensive Beauty’s next-generation nano-delivery platform, designed for entrepreneurs, brand founders, and skincare professionals developing cutting-edge products. Each version is pre-structured for modern formulation workflows and optimized for future-ready production.

The NanoBase™ Lineup

  • NanoBase™ Classic – A phospholipid-based nanoemulsion ideal for lightweight formats such as serums, gels, and essences. Supports both oil- and water-soluble actives with exceptional spreadability and absorption.

  • NanoBase™ Luxe – A phospholipid-based nanoemulsion designed for richer formats like moisturizers, masks, and treatment balms. Delivers a more cushioned, nourishing feel while maintaining deep delivery performance.

  • NanoBase™ X – A nano-dispersion system created for specialty formulations where liposomal encapsulation is not desired. Built to support actives that require a different delivery pathway while maintaining stability and performance.

All NanoBase™ platforms are pre-sized to approximately 200 nanometers for optimal uniformity and stability. They are a formulation matrix for research and product development purposes and not intended for direct-to-consumer use as a standalone matrix.
