Nutricosmetics: the efficacy of microencapsulated borage supplements

Nutricosmetics is that branch of cosmetics that aims to improve the appearance of the skin, and more generally of our body, through food supplements. These, acting from within, provide the body with micro and macro nutrients needed to nourish the skin and reduce its aging.

Recent studies have shown that the population is increasingly subject to skin damage, caused by multiple factors including UV rays, foaming detergents, air pollution and malnutrition. Food supplements applied to nutricosmetics are a simple and effective solution to combat skin aging, especially when associated with good eating habits.

Among the most suitable supplements, we find those based on Omega 3, collagen, hyaluronic acid and vitamins. But we often forget the existence of another natural substance, capable not only of repairing skin damage, but also of preventing inflammation and aging.

We are talking about borage and, in particular, the borage seed oil microcapsules supplied by IPS. Featuring one of the highest amounts of GLA (gamma linoleic acid), borage seed oil is gaining popularity as a natural anti-inflammatory and anti-aging supplement. This importance is given by the ability to alleviate the symptoms of various inflammatory and age-related disorders, including arthritis, atopic eczema, and some respiratory disorders.

Microcapsules containing Borage seed oil

But the real advantage of IPS borage microcapsules is their formulation. In fact, these are microcapsules obtained through coacervation, an innovative technique able to protect the active substance from oxidizing agents thanks to a polymeric membrane.

Nutricosmetics opens the door to new horizons and enters more and more into a territory made up of innovation and scientific research. IPS 's goal is to always keep pace, guaranteeing consumers an increasingly effective product in line with their needs.
