Labeling Claims: Microplastics-free, BSE-free, Non-Irritant, Butylated Hydroxyanisole-free, Halal, Non-GMO, Nanomaterials-free, Vegan, Preservative-free
Certifications & Compliance: Halal
Benefit Claims: Anti-Aging, Regenerating, Softening, Healthy-Looking Skin, Even Skin Tone, Restoring, Smoothing, Fine Lines Reduction, Luminosity, Promotes Youthful Skin, Long Shelf Life, Excellent Release Properties, Collagen Boosting, Improves Skin Elasticity, Firming, Clarifying, Brightening, Compatibility, Antioxidant Properties, Stimulating, Anti-Wrinkle, Redness Reduction, Anti-Acne, Excellent Stability, Cell Regeneration, Encapsulated Actives, Shine & Radiance, Pigmentation Reduction
Retinol is highly recognized as a very effective vitamin for anti- aging treatment due to its capacity to stimulate collagen production, accelerate cell reproduction and normalize skin keratinization. Its regular application significantly improves skin elasticity, smoothness, and softness, resulting in younger, clearer and healthier looking skin. Nevertheless, Retinol is highly sensitive to oxidation, degradation in the presence of air, sunlight, acidic conditions and heavy metals which results in decreased efficacy and formula discoloration. Tagra Biotechnologies overcomes these challenges with CelluCap™ RL. By delivering stabilized pure Retinol in a microencapsulation, Tagra helps to improve the performance and shelf life of the final formula. CelluCap™ RL’s encapsulated Retinol is easily released upon mechanical pressure, such as a rubbing action. The single layer polymeric shell collapses and breaks down into invisible particles, but still retains the payload to continue and deliver over time. Until the moment of application, Retinol remains fresh and potent. Why You Should Use CelluCap™ RL in Your Formulas? - Increases Retinol's Stability and Potency - Reduces the Presence and Size of Dark Spots - Improves Skin Homogeneity - Less Irritating when compared to Free Retinol (CIT tested at final free retinol level of 0.1%) - Facilitates Easy Formulation Processes Formulating with CelluCap™ RL: - For best practice in any cosmetic formulation, CelluCap™ RL should be gradually added at the last stage of formulation preparation, using a simple paddle/anchor type mixer at 70- 300rpm. - Avoid using high shear mixing (homogenizer) and temperature exceeding 50°C. - No nitrogen blanket is needed while formulating with CelluCap™ RL.

CelluCap™
Made of cellulose based polymers, CelluCap™ Release on Demand (RNDTM) technology keep actives fresh during scale-up and shelf life and allow for easy release upon skin application. Microcapsules break down into invisible particles, but still retain a portion of the payload for controlled and continuous delivery. Encapsulation of lipophilic actives/oils results in a new physical form, a powder that can be dispersed across all phases of a formulation. Cellucaps™ give consumers confidence in the active efficacy, and give formulators greater flexibility to create stable, high-performance skin-restoring product with a unique texture.
