Hydrogel-based skincare products—from moisturizers to wrinkle treatments—depend on precision engineering of hydration and stability.
By tuning properties like viscosity, absorption rate, and active ingredient release, researchers can create formulations that deliver targeted, long-lasting benefits to the skin.
Overview
The ability of a cosmetic hydrogel to absorb and retain water directly affects skin feel, plumpness, and product effectiveness.
Degradation stability determines how long a product performs on the skin and its shelf life.
Why Swelling and Degradation Matter:
Example Applications:
Sheet masks and serum-infused hydrogel patches
Crosslinked hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
Anti-aging creams with hydrogel matrices
How GelTech Helps:
Our instruments enable companies to precisely measure water uptake, swelling rates, and breakdown profiles under simulated use conditions (e.g., body temperature, pH).
This ensures cosmetic gels maintain optimal texture, hydration release, and user experience.
