Antioxidants:
The best solution for aging yet the hardest problem to solve.
We’ve solved four of the biggest challenges.
The Challenges with Antioxidants
1
Instability
2
Short Effective Window
3
Uncontrollable Delivery
4
Low Loading
The PROfour Solution
HuMed’s market-changing technology PROfour can take your antioxidants to the next level by:
1
Protecting
for complete delivery
2
Prolonging
active availability
3
Programming
release profiles
4
Providing
superior loading
1
Problem
Instability
Skin care formulations alone do not effectively protect antioxidants from degradation.
Solution
Protecting
For Complete Delivery
PROfour embeds the antioxidant into the polymer network, preserving it until the skin’s moisture triggers gradual release.
2
Problem
Short Effective Window
The active behavior of antioxidants disappear quickly after application due to environmental insult.
Solution
Prolonging
Active Availability
PROfour gradually releases the antioxidant, lengthening the effective window of the product.
3
Problem
Uncontrollable Delivery
Current technology lacks tunability, control, and consistency.
Solution
Programming
Release Profiles
PROfour technology allows for customized release profile selection to optimize product needs.
4
Problem
Low Loading
Current delivery technologies have low loading capacities, requiring excessive material to meet the goal active loading.
Solution
Providing
Superior Loading
PROfour provides an efficient solution with 5 times the loading ability.
