CelluCap™ C is a highly effective encapsulation of ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, which helps to overcome common formulation challenges associated with vitamin C. By isolating this oil-soluble vitamin C derivative, formulations are less likely to show discoloration and deterioration of the raw material. It is as if each microdose of ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is delivered in its own airtight packaging. CelluCap™ C exhibits Tagra's Release on Demand (RND) technology, which releases the ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate only upon mechanical application. The cellulose-based shell collapses, releasing the active while breaking down into invisible particles. These particles retain some of the core ingredients, creating extended delivery for continued efficacy.

Formulation Advantages

Tagra’s unique delivery system ensures optimal isolation of the Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate resulting in increase of its stability (Fig. 2), preventing incompatibilities and formulation discoloration. CelluCapTM C appears as a non-agglomerate powder which is easily incorporated into the already made base formulation during the last stage of preparation. The product is compatible with all types of cosmetic formulations, no stabilizers or special equipment required, without any pH limitations. CelluCap™ range complies with all regulatory requirements worldwide.

Clinical Testing

 

INCREASE OF SKIN BRIGHTENING

Twelve Asian females (aged 35-60 years old) treated with formulation containing 3% w/w CelluCapTM C demonstrated increase in skin brightening as indicated by measuring melanin levels and ITA° angle. Cream was applied twice daily on face and on both outer forearms. Non-treated areas served as a baseline (t0w).CelluCap™ C - Clinical Testing

* P<0.05 as compared to baseline

CELLUCAPTM C: SIGNIFICANT WRINKLE REDUCTION

The anti-aging effect of 2% w/w CelluCapTM C resulted in an average 23.22% reduction in skin roughness, as tested on five female volunteers treated with O/W formulation.
