Component Specifications

Definition
Active ingredient carriers are specialized components within daily chemical elastomer gel systems designed to encapsulate, stabilize, and release active ingredients (e.g., fragrances, moisturizers, vitamins) in a controlled manner. They are typically microcapsules, porous particles, or matrix structures integrated into the gel network to ensure sustained release and protection of sensitive actives.
Working Principle
The carriers utilize encapsulation or adsorption mechanisms to hold active ingredients. Upon application or environmental triggers (e.g., pH, temperature, shear), the carriers release the actives through diffusion, degradation, or mechanical rupture, ensuring prolonged efficacy.
Materials
Common materials include biodegradable polymers (e.g., polylactic acid, polycaprolactone), silica, cyclodextrins, and natural polymers (e.g., gelatin, alginate). Materials must be compatible with elastomer gel formulation and skin-safe.
Technical Parameters
  • Particle Size 1-100 µm
  • Release Profile Sustained over 8-24 hours
  • Loading Capacity 20-60% w/w
  • Encapsulation Efficiency >85%
Standards
ISO 10993 (Biocompatibility), ISO 22716 (GMP for Cosmetics)

Engineering Analysis

Risks & Mitigation
  • Incompatibility with gel matrix causing phase separation
  • Premature release during storage
  • Potential skin irritation from carrier materials
FMEA Triads
Trigger: Incompatible carrier material
Failure: Phase separation or gel instability
Mitigation: Conduct compatibility tests and select carriers with similar polarity to gel matrix.
Trigger: Insufficient encapsulation
Failure: Premature release of active ingredient
Mitigation: Optimize encapsulation process parameters (e.g., crosslinking time, core-to-wall ratio).
Trigger: Carrier degradation during storage
Failure: Loss of active ingredient efficacy
Mitigation: Use stabilizers and control storage conditions (temperature, humidity).
