Haircare on TDA Logic.
NanoBase™ Cortex.
NanoBase™ Cortex is the haircare member of the NanoBase™ family: the tri-domain Architecture, tuned for leave-on hair-fibre and scalp formats rather than facial skin. Hair serums, leave-in conditioners and scalp serums are completed on it at room temperature, with TDA Logic placing each ingredient in the domain its chemistry favours. Cortex is available for haircare projects through Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs.

Hair is not facial skin.
A hair formula works on the fibre and the scalp, not the face. Cortex is tuned for that: the tri-domain structure designed for the textures, conditioning ingredients and actives that hair and scalp products carry, so a brand gets a modern nanoscale haircare formula without nano equipment on the line.
Serums and leave-ins
Hair serums, leave-in conditioners and scalp serums, the leave-on formats Cortex is tuned for.
Placed by TDA Logic
Conditioning agents, botanical oils, peptides and humectants are each assigned to the domain their chemistry favours, read from logP or logD, solubility and charge.
No emulsifier to select
The emulsification is built into the Architecture. The formula is completed at room temperature on standard cosmetic equipment.
Light on the fibre
Designed for light, non-greasy hair textures, with the conditioning feel set by the ingredients the brand chooses.
NanoBase™ Cortex is a cosmetic raw material for hair and scalp products. It makes no claim of its own; claims for a finished product belong to the brand that formulates it. Composition, ratios and process are confidential.
One logic, tuned per format.
Every NanoBase™ Architecture is TDA Logic engineered into a finished raw material: nanocolloidal, nanoliposomal and nanomicellar domains in one continuous water phase. Each member is tuned for a different kind of product.

What can I make on NanoBase™ Cortex?
Leave-on hair and scalp products: hair serums, leave-in conditioners and scalp serums. Tell the lab your brief and it will confirm the fit.
Is NanoBase™ Cortex available now?
Yes, for haircare projects through the lab. Start with a short brief; the lab scopes the project and quotes in writing before any work begins.
Can my contract manufacturer run it?
Yes. Like the rest of the family, the formula is completed at room temperature with standard, low-shear mixing. No nano equipment is needed downstream.
Does NanoBase™ Cortex make a claim of its own?
No. It is a cosmetic raw material. Claims for a finished hair or scalp product are substantiated by the brand, on the finished formula.
