Givaudan Active Beauty elevates its delivery systems technology with VectorHyal™
An HA-engineered skin delivery system boosting ingredient performance and stability
Givaudan Active Beauty proudly introduces VectorHyal™, a skin delivery system engineered to unlock the full potential of active cosmetic ingredients. Based on hyaluronic acid (HA), a molecule favoured by 88% of consumers1, this cutting-edge technology combines advanced encapsulation science with HA engineering to deliver enhanced efficacy and superior stability in multiple cosmetics applications.
As the latest generation of Givaudan’s delivery systems technology, VectorHyal™ embodies a fully customisable solution for today’s formulation challenges.
By merging high-precision encapsulation with a HA-based biopolymer chassis, the system offers:
- Enhanced performance – Active molecules penetrate deeper into the skin.
- Controlled release – Gradual release activated by an enzyme trigger for sustained activity.
- Elevated stability – Sensitive ingredients are protected from external disruptors, preserving their integrity from formulation to application.
- Unique sensoriality – The biopolymeric structure enhances visual appeal by enabling the creation of transparent formulas, optimising overall formulation aesthetics.
Versatile by design, VectorHyal™ accommodates both hydrophilic and lipophilic active ingredients. Its flexible matrix of HA enables the precise release of encapsulated molecules upon contact with skin enzymes and makes it compatible with an extensive range of formats from serums to creams. Highly adaptable, it seamlessly supports high-performance formulations without compromising their sensory identity by allowing transparency.
“VectorHyal™ is more than just a delivery system, it’s a true platform for innovation. It empowers brands to push the boundaries of formulation science, elevate consumer experiences and explore new possibilities through a single, versatile system.”
Dmitri Colesnic, Head of Delivery Systems at Givaudan Active Beauty
Building on more than two decades of encapsulation expertise and developed through the strong collaboration established in 2022 with Nanovetores™, an innovative Brazilian company, Givaudan Active Beauty continues to redefine scientific innovation in delivery technologies.
