Lubrizol Life Sciences

Our core technological strength in microencapsulation applied to botanical and mineral ingredients gives us a potential basis to allow our customers to develop premium products with leading performance claims.

Microencapsulation Benefits

To develop our ingredients, we use several technologies of microencapsulation to entrap actives with different technical challenges within layers of different natures. 

The technical advantages and benefits of the microencapsulation include:

• Enable an ingredient to be dispersible in liquid forms
• Limit the interaction of the ingredient with other components (e.g., iron and vitamin C)
• Enhance the bioavailability for poorly absorbed ingredients
• Create a slow release of an active in the body for rapidly absorbed ingredients (e.g., caffeine)
• Mask unpleasant taste such as iron metallic taste or bitterness of the caffeine
