Fragrance Encapsulation

Advanced microencapsulation technology in slurry or dry powder formats

What Is Fragrance Encapsulation?

Microencapsulation for fragrance is a cutting-edge biodegradable and non-toxic technology used to improve the longevity, stability, and controlled release of scents in various products. This process involves encasing tiny fragrance molecules within a protective shell or capsule, allowing for gradual scent release, durability, and enhanced consumer experience. Use our biodegradable microencapsulation technology for enhanced fragrance longevity, stability, and controlled scent release.

Enhanced Longevity

Fragrance molecules are protected from evaporation and degradation, making scents last significantly longer. Microencapsulated scents release gradually when the capsule shell is broken through rubbing, warmth, or moisture exposure.

Controlled Release

Time-release effect delivers consistent scent throughout the day, perfect for products requiring extended customer experience.

Fragrance Stability

Protection from heat, air, light, and other factors ensures fragrance remains fresh and effective over time.
