Tagra Biotechnologies since its inception in 1998, focuses on developing and manufacturing microencapsulated ingredients such as actives, pigments, essential oils, UV filters, and highly water-soluble ingredients. Tagra is the first to patent a unique innovative Release on Demand™ (RND™) Microencapsulation Technology. Tagra’s platform addresses industry challenges of stability, efficiency, and compatibility with other cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulation ingredients. The technology enables the masking, protecting, and releasing of more than 40 actives and pigments widely used in cosmetics and OTC preparations. Tagra’s microcapsules are friction released through consumer applications. Tagra also owns and operates its own plant and state-of-the-art laboratory meeting all required regulations.

DeeperCaps™ microencapsulation technology enables cosmetic formulators to develop color cosmetics with no white-cast eect. Thanks to a sophisticated double-layer microcapsule structure, users get unprecedented coverage that matches their natural skin tone.

And it’s not just foundation that can be re-invented with DeeperCaps™.

Tagra’s microencapsulation technology also works in gels, liquid, powder and cream-based make-up and skin care products.

CelluOils protects natural essential oils for fresh, long-lasting release upon each application. Avoid volatilization, discoloration, and degradation, while letting the natural character of your formula shine through. CelluOilsTM convert liquid into powder that can be dispersed and integrated across all phases, allowing for the design of new and innovative formulation concepts.


CelluOil

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.

SunCaps™ OctiCap™

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.

CelluCap™ C

CelluCap™ Resveratrol is a microencapsulated delivery system that effectively overcomes the formulation challenges associated with resveratrol, such as discoloration and recrystallization. The encapsulation of resveratrol in a cellulose-based shell provides stability, extending the potency of the material and ensuring its freshness until the moment of application. In addition, the encapsulated resveratrol is easily released upon mechanical pressure, such as through rubbing action. The single-layer polymeric shell collapses and breaks down into invisible particles while still retaining the payload to deliver over time. This enables efficient delivery of resveratrol to the skin, resulting in extended antioxidant activity and anti-aging benefits. Moreover, CelluCap™ Resveratrol is globally compliant, making it suitable for use in a variety of skincare products worldwide. Clinically tested, CelluCap™ Resveratrol is a promising ingredient in the beauty industry, offering potent anti-inflammatory and anti-aging benefits.
