In the competitive world of skincare, pharmaceuticals, and nutraceuticals, delivering active ingredients effectively through biological barriers has long been a challenge. Traditional delivery systems often fail to protect fragile compounds or penetrate deeply enough to maximize efficacy—until now. Divo Nanowrapping Technology is revolutionizing ingredient delivery, boasting a 200% increase in penetration rates for actives like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides. This breakthrough isn’t just incremental—it’s transformative. Here’s how it works, why it matters, and how brands are already leveraging it to dominate markets.
Most topical creams and serums lose their potency due to:
- Degradation: Exposure to light, air, or skin enzymes breaks down actives before they reach target cells.
- Poor Solubility: Hydrophobic ingredients like curcumin struggle to dissolve in aqueous environments.
- Barrier Limitations: The stratum corneum (skin’s outer layer) blocks molecules larger than 500 Daltons.
For example, studies show only 5–10% of hyaluronic acid in creams penetrates beyond the skin’s surface. Divo’s solution? A nanoscale “wrapper” that shields and transports actives to their destination.
Divo’s core innovation lies in its dual-layer nanoparticles (50–100 nm):
- Inner Layer: A lipid matrix protects actives from oxidative stress and enzymatic breakdown.
- Outer Layer: A pH-responsive polymer shell ensures controlled release only when reaching target tissues (e.g., deeper dermal layers or inflamed cells).
Example: In trials, encapsulated retinol showed 90% stability after 12 weeks vs. 40% for free retinol.
Divo nanoparticles are coated with cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) that bind to keratinocyte receptors, bypassing the stratum corneum. Think of CPPs as “molecular keys” unlocking deeper skin layers.
Lab Result: CPP-modified nanoparticles delivered 220% more vitamin C into fibroblasts compared to non-functionalized carriers.
Unlike burst-release systems, Divo’s pH-sensitive design releases actives gradually over 24–48 hours. This maintains therapeutic concentrations without overwhelming cells.
Clinical Case: A psoriasis cream using Divo-wrapped tacrolimus reduced flare-ups by 62% (vs. 28% for conventional formulas) by sustaining drug levels in epidermal layers.
- In Vitro Skin Model (Franz Cell): Divo-delivered niacinamide achieved a 2.3x higher penetration rate than standard emulsions.
- Human Study (30 Participants): A Divo-enhanced antioxidant serum increased glutathione levels in the epidermis by 214% after 4 weeks.
- Stability Test: Encapsulated EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) retained 95% bioactivity after 6 months vs. 30% in non-encapsulated formulations.
La Néva integrated Divo to deliver a 5% bakuchiol-peptide complex. Results:
- 83% reduction in wrinkle depth (vs. 45% for bakuchiol alone).
- Marketed as “Botox in a Bottle,” the serum sold out in 72 hours post-launch.
By nanowrapping sumatriptan, RelievRx achieved 2x faster drug absorption through the scalp, cutting migraine duration by 50%.
Divo’s nanoparticles enhanced CBD bioavailability to 34% (vs. 12% for oral capsules), positioning VitaCore as a leader in fast-acting anxiety relief.

Transdermal Vaccines: Early-stage research uses Divo to deliver mRNA through microneedle patches. Preliminary trials in partnership with a biotech startup demonstrated 94% antigen uptake in mice models, far surpassing traditional intramuscular methods. This could enable pain-free, self-administered flu or COVID-19 vaccines by 2026.

Hair Follicle Targeting for Precision Treatments:
Divo’s nanoparticles are being engineered to selectively accumulate in hair follicles—a pathway previously underutilized in dermatology. A prototype alopecia treatment delivered 300% more minoxidil to follicular stem cells than topical solutions, with zero systemic absorption.
-
Crossing the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB):
By attaching apolipoprotein E-mimetic peptides to the nanowrappers, Divo’s team has successfully transported neuroprotective compounds into the brains of Alzheimer’s disease models. This breakthrough could unlock treatments for neurodegenerative disorders previously deemed “undruggable.”
-
AI-Driven Formulation Optimization:
Divo’s new NanoDesign AI platform analyzes ingredient chemistry, target tissue properties, and disease pathways to create custom nanowrappers in 72 hours (vs. 6 months via manual R&D). A skincare brand used this tool to develop a melasma-targeting tranexamic acid serum with 98% epidermal retention in preclinical tests.
While Divo’s technology is groundbreaking, its adoption raises critical questions:
- Safety: Long-term effects of nanoparticle accumulation in organs like the liver are still under study. Rigorous biodistribution tracking is required.
- Regulatory Hurdles: The FDA’s 2023 draft guidelines classify hybrid nanoparticles as “novel delivery systems,” requiring extended Phase III trials for drug applications.
- Cost: Nanowrapping adds 15–20% to production costs, though brands like La Néva offset this by positioning products as “biotech luxury.”
Prioritize ingredients with:
- Low bioavailability (e.g., CBD, resveratrol)
- Instability in formulations (e.g., peptides, probiotics)
- High consumer demand but poor results (e.g., vitamin C, hyaluronic acid)
Divo offers co-development programs where brands:
- Access their library of pre-validated nanoparticles
- Customize surface ligands (e.g., folate for aging skin, transferrin for cancer targeting)
- Test prototypes in 3D skin/organoid models
- Educate Consumers: Use micro-animations to show nanowrappers “delivering actives like tiny submarines.”
- Certifications: Pursue Clean Nano™ or ECOCERT labels to address “nano-phobia.”
- Clinical Claims: Highlight comparative studies (e.g., “2x deeper than retinol serums” with HPLC data).
Divo Nanowrapping Technology isn’t just a scientific novelty—it’s rewriting the rules of efficacy across industries. From turning mediocre serums into clinical-grade powerhouses to enabling next-gen pharmaceuticals, its 200% penetration boost is merely the starting point. Brands that adopt this technology now will dominate markets; those that delay risk obsolescence.
