Validation and press

Evidence you can check.
A lab the press can reach.

This is where the third-party validation and published papers of Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs live, and where press and media request interviews, comment and images. Every item links to its source and is labelled for what it is, so you can judge it yourself.

Third-party letter · signed

Signed letter of validation, April 2026

From Jaime Turgeon, Medical Spa Director & Master Instructor at Eastern Virginia Career College, a triple-accredited institution. NanoBase™ has been adopted into the college's Medical Aesthetics Certificate Program, beginning 2027.

In-house · measured

DLS-characterised every batch

Every batch of NanoBase™ is DLS-characterised in our lab against a ~185 nm design target, and a report goes with every lot. Electrostatic stabilisation is a design specification (DLVO), not a measured value.

What is measured and specified

Programs and tools

Learn it, run it, read the specs.

Three ways to work with NanoBase™ and TDA Logic directly, without waiting for a call.

Professional development

NanoBase™ Expert Formulator Program, TDA Specialist

A self-paced, online professional development program in formulating with NanoBase™. Graduates earn the title NanoBase™ Expert Formulator, TDA Logic Specialist and a certificate of completion issued by Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs. It is not an accredited qualification, licence or degree.

Free API

NanoBase™ API

A free add-on for your own AI: TDA Logic by NanoBase™. It checks a leave-on formula's loading on the NanoBase™ Architecture and builds the INCI label. Results are design guidance for review by a qualified chemist or formulator.

Boilerplate · copy as written

Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs develops advanced cosmetic formulations for brands of every size, around the world. From its cosmetic nanoscience laboratory in Seffner, Florida, the lab manufactures NanoBase™, a cosmetic raw material: a tri-domain nano-colloidal Architecture with nanocolloidal, nanoliposomal and nanomicellar domains, designed to an electrostatic (DLVO) stabilisation specification rather than an HLB emulsifier target, engineered to a ~185 nm design target, DLS-characterised every batch, and used at 55-95% of leave-on cosmetic formulas that brands complete with standard cosmetic equipment.

Questions

For editors and reviewers.

How is NanoBase™ tested?

NanoBase™ is a raw material, so the testing that matters is done on the finished formula built on it: stability, preservative efficacy and safety testing by the brand's testing lab or manufacturer. NanoBase™ itself is characterised in our lab: the tri-domain Architecture has been characterised, and particle size is DLS-characterised on every batch against a ~185 nm design target. The science it builds on, colloidal, liposomal, micellar and nanoemulsion systems, is backed by decades of published research.

Can I interview the lab?

Yes. Use the media request form on this page, or email team@pensivebeauty.com with your outlet, topic and deadline. Interviews are given on behalf of Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs, and the lab replies the same day, 9 am to 9 pm EST.

How do I get images or samples?

Choose Images or logos, or Samples, as the request type in the form on this page and say how you plan to use them. The lab replies with what is available. NanoBase™ is a raw material for businesses, so samples for formulation work go through a commercial account at nanobaselabs.com.

How should I cite the papers?

Cite each paper by its DOI, with Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs as the author. For example: Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs (2026). TDA Logic: The Tri-Domain Placement Logic Succeeding 1940s HLB Logic in Nanoscale Cosmetic Formulation (Version 1.0) [Preprint]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23384911
