Our Technology
We don’t change the molecule. We change
At Optidel, we precisely redesign the active’s environment to maximize its solubility, preserve its structure intact, and enhance its bioavailability and efficacy—unlocking its full potential.
1What is Optidel Technology?
Optidel technology is born from a deep understanding of molecular behaviour and how the relationship between the polarity of the medium and that of the active itself determines its solubility. Previous studies and developments have shown that when this balance is precisely adjusted, poorly soluble actives can be effectively integrated into polar systems.
Based on this principle, Optidel enables the solubilization of natural actives without encapsulation or chemical modification. Instead of altering the ingredient, we transform its environment, so it behaves as a true, transparent, and stable solution—ready to be formulated.
We don’t force the molecule. We design the right environment for it to work.
2How It Works at Molecular Level
Optidel works through the precise tuning of the polarity and composition of the medium, using rational combinations of polar solvents and compatible cosolvents. This approach creates an environment perfectly adapted to the active’s molecular characteristics.
This fine adjustment generates a balanced microenvironment in which the molecule integrates naturally and becomes fully solubilized, reducing its tendency to aggregate or precipitate—while keeping its original structure completely unchanged.
3What Makes It Different
No encapsulation, no derivatization: We preserve the original molecule, keeping its structure and biological function intact.
True solutions, not suspensions: We create clear, homogeneous, and stable systems, free from turbidity and precipitation, ensuring consistent texture, performance, and stability—even at high concentrations of natural actives.
Designed from physicochemical principles: We optimize specific molecular interactions—such as dipole–dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding—to maximize compatibility between the active and its environment.
4Benefits for Brands and Formulators
Maximum active performance: Fully solubilized actives aligned with the aqueous phase show higher real bioavailability and improved ability to reach their site of action, delivering visible and measurable skin results.
Stable and reliable formulas: Precipitate-free homogeneous formulas that maintain stability, texture, and performance throughout the entire product lifecycle—even at high concentrations of natural actives.
Simpler, more efficient processes Ready-to-use: ingredients for aqueous formulations, with no encapsulation or additional solubilization steps required. This simplifies industrial scaling, reduces technical risks, and optimizes development time and costs.
5Application:
From Complex Actives to Ready-to-Formulate Ingredients
Optidel Biosystems is particularly effective at enhancing botanical extracts rich in polyphenols and other highly bioactive lipophilic compounds, transforming them into fully solubilized ingredients ready to be directly incorporated into formulations.
We create concentrated solutions from natural actives that preserve their original structure but deliver superior performance—because we optimize the environment in which they work, not the chemistry of the molecule itself.
Optidel Biosystems develops advanced biotechnological solutions for the cosmetics' industry.
