Our Story

Over 10 years at the National University of Singapore, we have been constantly searching for new delivery platforms which are safe, easy to use, and effective yet environmentally friendly. These features often compromise each other and therefore are difficult to achieve on a single platform. However, we have come up with a brilliant solution to bring all these features together in a unique delivery platform: microbee     – a particle with spikes on its surface resembling durian structure at microscale. Microbees can be mixed and used with current skin and health care products to increase their skin absorption up to 10 times faster and 1,000 times higher  , therefore significantly enhance their efficacy in a very simple way: 

  • Just mix and use

  • Less dose formulation

  • No need chemical enhancers

  • No need complicated formulation

These features greatly reduce the use of all active compounds and other harmful chemicals in cosmeceutical and pharmaceutical industry, hence simplify the formulation process​ toward higher efficacy, more beautiful & healthier humankind and sustainable earth.

​

Depend on physiochemical properties of actives or drugs formulated, verified through in vitro study using human skin.
