All VNIBioC products will be made from a nano emulsion containing crystalline nano cellulose made up of nano-sized particles and herbal extracts to ensure greater penetration and improved delivery.

Nanotechnology in cosmetics can refer to the delivery system used to transport the hero or active ingredient into the skin safely or the particle size of the active ingredients used.

In VNI, Nanotechnology refers to the nanoemulsion that is used to encapsulate the herbal extracts, our hero ingredients whether moringa, neem, bromelain, mangosteen or kesum ( persicaria minus).

The nanoemulsion is an exclusive formulation by a highly qualified pharmaceutical research and development team from an established academic institute in Malaysia.  It is a nanoemulsion because of the use of Crystalline Nano-Cellulose as a delivery agent.

Nanocellulose is a light solid substance obtained from plant matter which comprises nanosized cellulose fibrils. This new material is pseudo-plastic and possesses the property of specific kinds of fluids or gels that are generally thick in normal conditions. The lateral dimensions of nanocellulose range from 5 to 20 nm, and the longitudinal dimension ranges from a few 10’s of nanometers to several microns.

In cosmetic formulation, CNC performs the following functions :

1. Provide texture that improves a product’s feel in facial and body application.
2. Act as an emulsifier (oil-water emulsion).
3. Stabilizer (enables homogeneity of liquid base system).
4. Thickener (imparts rheological properties).
5. Promotes reactivity.
6. Gentle sensation (superfine and soft particles).
7. Improve penetration into skin

A nanoemulsion with CNC and herbal extracts that are used to infuse a bio-cellulose facial sheet mask would be able to deliver antioxidants, phytonutrients and vitamins directly onto the skin enabling greater absorption safely and effectively.

Biocellulose was first developed as an artificial skin to treat patients with severe burns and wounds. It is actually a natural fiber, extremely thin with a diameter of 20 nanometers – a thousand times thinner than the average human hair.

Biocellulose is a naturally grown fiber made by tiny bacteria that convert glucose into cellulose in a lab, normally from coconut water. These fibers make up the fabric of facial sheet masks.  Biocellulose masks tend to be a bit more expensive than traditional paper masks as it takes almost two weeks to ‘harvest’ the fibers and weave them Into a fabric.

After the Biocellulose fibers are woven into a fabric and cut into a sheet mask, the mask is preloaded with nourishing ingredients for healthy, glowing skin.

The five most important and beneficial properties of VNIBioC’s bio-cellulose masks are :

1. Able to absorb up to 100 times their dry weight and donate moisture and liquid to the skin which makes them ideal delivery systems for skin-nourishing ingredients.
2. 100% compostable meaning that it is biodegradable and friendly to the environment. No worries about contributing to more cosmetic waste!
3. More durable as bio-cellulose fabric are tightly woven and will not rip or tear easily. Plus the CNC nanoemulsion helps to strengthen and stabilize the mask even more.
4. Toxin-Free as bio-cellulose fabric is not treated with chemicals unlike paper masks.
5. Clings to skin and does not dry out which makes them more effective in delivering every drop of nourishing serum to every part of your skin.
