LEVEL 2: MicroSperse® Technology

SUPERIOR, DERM-FRIENDLY SOLUTION. TRANSCENDING TRADITIONAL FORMULATING METHODS.

[VISUAL: Molecule graphic as currently shown on website.]

[COPY]

MicroSperse® is a proprietary process and ingredient technology based on patents and proprietary knowledge that uses physics instead of chemistry to create superior formulas.

  • Eliminates the need for chemical emulsifiers that can disrupt the skin's lipid barrier and alter the properties of oil-based ingredients.
  • Enables the creation of novel product forms that are otherwise unattainable with traditional emulsion technologies. This allows for unique consumer experiences and sets brands apart in the market.
  • Lowers formulation irritation potential while preserving the skin's natural barrier, making it ideal for sensitive and compromised skin. Used in several top dermatologist brands for its functional superiority over traditional emulsion formulas.

LEVEL 3: Technology That Matters

ONE UNIQUE PLATFORM. SEVEN DISTINCT PROCESING TECHNOLOGIES. UNPRECEDENTED FLEXIBILITY TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL FORMULATIONS.

MicroSperse® is a unique platform with a family of seven distinct physical cold-processing technologies. Each solves specific formulation challenges and is engineered to create small, highly uniform particles without relying on traditional chemistry.

With MicroSperse®, active ingredients are never subjected to heating and cooling cycles of traditional manufacturing. Formulators have unprecedented flexibility to simplify and scale their products.

[BACK UP COPY IF PREFERRED OVER GRAPHIC]

Legacy Technology.

Creates small, highly uniform particles without traditional surfactants or emulsifiers. Compatible with sensitive delivery systems such as liposomes.

Polymer Fragment Technology.

Stabilizes particles using polymer fragments while maintaining compatibility with sensitive delivery systems.

Cationic Technology.

Creates positively charged particles that enhance substantivity and delivery to hair and skin.

Emulsifier Technology.

Uses minimal emulsifier levels, offering a bridge for formulators transitioning from traditional systems.

Anhydrous Technology.

Applies a water-free process ideal for actives sensitive to degradation in aqueous-based systems.

Suspension Technology.

Reduces particle size of crude suspensions and enhances uniformity for improved product aesthetics.

Encapsulation Technology.

Creates liposomal encapsulates in both anionic and cationic formats for targeted, controlled delivery of active ingredients.

LEVEL 3: Broad Compatibility

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY. NOVEL APPLICATIONS. EXTRAORDINARY PRODUCTS THAT SET BRANDS APART.

[VISUAL: Shown below. Image is currently used in the MicroSperse section of the website.]

[COPY]

MicroSperse® is backed by more than 30 patents and powers 100-plus commercial products. The small, highly uniform particles produced by our proprietary process deliver aesthetically superior textures – silky, light, non-tacky formulations consumers describe as luxurious.

The cold-processing technology uses high-pressure, high-shear techniques that preserve the natural state of ingredients and eliminate the need for harmful emulsifiers and/or surfactants. The range of novel applications continues to expand across product categories:

  • Skincare. Anti-aging serums, hydrating creams, masks, and compromised barrier treatments
  • Sun Care. Low-whitening, high SPF mineral sunscreens in satin, veil-like, and cushion textures, resulting in greater SPF potency and prolonged sunscreen stability
  • Fragrance. Luxurious alcohol-free bases with complete olfactory profiles, capturing the entire bouquet of fragrance and alleviating the burden of VOC regulatory challenges
  • Hair Care. Concentrated delivery of actives with cationic substantivity, ideal for sprays, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and masks
  • Baby Care. Gentle, effective formulations for the most delicate skin
  • Hand Sanitizer. Low- and high-residue options sanitize without drying the skin while incorporating oil-based therapeutic agents that others cannot

LEVEL 3: Built to Scale

SIMPLIFIED PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT. FASTER TIME-TO-MARKET.

[VISUAL: Proposed shutter stock image (image purchase required). Idea is to denote scalability by showing volume. No such photos are available in DMI's asset library that have not already been used.]

[COPY]

MicroSperse® offers scalable, efficient manufacturing solutions that simplify the formulation development process. A handful of ingredients and cold-processing technology (no need for harmful emulsifiers and/or surfactants) minimizes compounding steps and accelerates production.

  • Simplified Development. Reduced ingredient complexity eliminates the need for HLB rebalancing, leading to faster, more efficient product development cycles.
  • Rapid Prototyping. Ready-to-customize formulation chassis accelerate product launch timelines and enable faster development of tailored solutions.
  • Reduced Production Time. Cold-processing technology shortens run times by up to 50%.
  • Regulatory Ready. Formulations meet emerging global and federal guidelines, reducing the risk of costly reformulations and ensuring smooth market entry.

LEVEL 3: Enhanced Efficacy

HIGH-PERFORMANCE FORMULATIONS. GENTLE ON THE SKIN. BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

[COPY]

MicroSperse® creates advanced skincare formulations that deliver high-level performance while being gentle on the skin and better for the environment.

By excluding chemical emulsifiers that harm the skin's lipid barrier, brands achieve enhanced product efficacy, aesthetically remarkable textures, and sustainable, eco-friendly formulations that replenish the skin's natural barrier properties.

  • Fewer, More Powerful Ingredients. A simpler line focuses on delivering key active ingredients in their most effective forms. Fewer ingredients than typical emulsions result in a clean label that appeals to eco-conscious consumers.
  • Skin-Friendly. A soothing, gentle method moisturizes and protects the skin's lipid barrier, reduces irritation, and enhances skin health.
  • Non-Irritating. Without traditional emulsifiers that indiscriminately disrupt the skin's natural lipid barrier, it is ideal for sensitive and compromised skin types.
  • Luxurious Experience. MicroSperse® changes the way key ingredients feel on the skin. Formulations are silky, light, and non-tacky, providing a luxurious experience with every application.
  • Aesthetically Superior. MicroSperse® delivers an aesthetically superior texture and feel, supporting product characteristic claims, such as application, coverage, and finish.
  • Clean-Beauty Ready. Cold-processing retains the natural state of ingredients, promoting higher product efficacy and supporting clean-beauty claims.
  • Conscientious Carbon Footprint. Cold-processing technology decreases a product's overall carbon footprint, reducing energy use by up to 60%.
  • Planet Positive. Surfactant-free formulations offer significant eco-friendly advantages that safeguard aquatic ecosystems – reduced aquatic toxicity, enhanced biodegradability, and prevention of bioaccumulation.
