Matrix Hydrogels

Born from medical wound healing and trans-dermal drug delivery, now adapted to cosmetic use, matrix hydrogels are chemically formed to make a more uniform 3-D gel matrix. That uniformity means that the gel can hold more water and actives against the skin for longer periods of time. Their higher adhesion properties and fabric backings make them wearable under clothing and while sleeping for hours at a time. That makes them highly appropriate for targeted care, all over the body. Today, marketers are considering them for more differentiation in their product portfolio.
