Encapsulated Oil is a multifunctional active ingredient obtained through the fermentation of Rhodotorula yeast. It is supplied as a powder rich in lipids, proteins and amino acids, glucans, as well as naturally occurring carotenoids and polyphenols. Its lipid fraction is particularly rich in oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids.
The combination of lipids and naturally occurring bioactive compounds enables Encapsulated Oil to support skin hydration, barrier function and the skin microbiome while providing antioxidant activity. As a postbiotic ingredient, it can be used in formulations designed to support skin regeneration and renewal.
In addition to its skincare benefits, Encapsulated Oil provides technological functionality. It can support thickening, formulation stability and emulsification, combining active and functional properties in a single ingredient.
