Discover the ProCaps system for the protection of active ingredients in medical devices and cosmetics
When developing medical devices, dietary supplements or dermocosmetics, one of the biggest challenges is ensuring that active ingredients remain stable and effective over time.
ProCaps is a specialized technology for the preservation and protection of active ingredients, designed to maintain the chemical and biological integrity of formulations even under the most demanding conditions.
What ProCaps Is and How It Works
ProCaps is an advanced encapsulation system that isolates active ingredients within a protective micro-shell.
This barrier layer shields actives from oxygen, humidity, light and pH variations, preventing degradation and maintaining stability.
The technology is compatible with a wide range of ingredients — vitamins, botanical extracts, peptides and other sensitive molecules — and can be easily integrated into formulations for medical devices, dermocosmetics and supplements.
During the production process, ProCaps can be incorporated directly during mixing, without significantly altering the physical-chemical characteristics of the finished product.
Main Benefits of ProCaps
- Greater stability and shelf life: products remain effective longer, with fewer variations over time.
- Protection under extreme conditions: enhances resistance to temperature, humidity and light.
- Compatibility with different actives: works with vitamins, plant extracts, peptides and probiotics.
- Easy integration: fits existing production lines without costly adjustments.
- Reduced dosage and preservatives: increased protection minimizes the need for additional stabilizers.
Applications and Case Studies
In dermocosmetic formulations, ProCaps protects antioxidants such as vitamin C and retinol, preventing degradation.
In medical devices, it ensures stability in solutions or gels containing sensitive actives.
In food supplements, it preserves enzymes, probiotics and delicate nutrients throughout shelf life.
Many products developed by PJ Pharma use ProCaps technology to achieve superior performance and reliability.
