Our Technology

By attaching proprietary Omega-36 lipid components to selected vitamins and bioactive ingredients, OBI creates specialized ester-based derivatives designed to improve ingredient compatibility, stability, and incorporation within cosmetic formulations. This Bio-Ester technology supports the use of higher concentrations of selected vitamins while helping optimize skin feel, tolerability, and overall formulation performance.

Selective Enzyme Release Technology (SERT) is designed to improve ingredient compatibility and skin tolerability through specially engineered molecules that can be modified by naturally occurring enzymes present at the skin surface.

OBI utilizes biosurfactants such as sucrose esters, polyglyceryl lactylates, phosphatidic acids, and ascorbyl laurate as alternatives to conventional surfactant systems. These materials are designed from familiar lipid-, sugar-, amino acid-, and vitamin-related building blocks and are selected for their favorable compatibility with skin-focused formulations.

Selected cosmetic ingredients, including ascorbic acid, tocopherol, gallic acid, lactic acid, and oligopeptides, may be linked to fatty acids or glycerides to create specialized functional derivatives with improved formulation stability, dispersibility, and compatibility. Through OBI’s proprietary Bio-Emulsifier and Omega-36 Bio-Ester technologies, these materials can be designed to self-assemble into finely dispersed systems that support uniform ingredient distribution and optimized topical formulation performance.

OBI’s development philosophy emphasizes the use of well-characterized, skin-compatible molecular building blocks to create advanced functional skincare ingredients with an emphasis on stability, tolerability, formulation compatibility, and cosmetic performance.

OBI was founded on the development of advanced, skin-compatible delivery and formulation systems for topical cosmetic ingredients. By reducing reliance on conventional surfactants, OBI utilizes proprietary Bio-Emulsifier and Omega-36 Bio-Ester technologies to create emulsions and anhydrous formulation systems designed to support ingredient stability, distribution, skin feel, and overall product performance.

Our technology platform includes NOP-compliant organic emulsifier options and naturally derived bio-emulsifiers designed for use in cell-compatible emulsions, liposomal systems, microemulsions, and nanoemulsions. These systems are engineered with an emphasis on low cytotoxicity in appropriate in vitro models, formulation compatibility, and the efficient incorporation of selected cosmetic ingredients.

OBI integrates these delivery technologies with its proprietary Cell Culture Compatible screening platform to evaluate ingredients and finished formulations during the development process. This approach allows formulations to be screened and refined for parameters such as cell compatibility, ingredient performance, stability, and formulation behavior prior to more advanced product testing.

Nanoemulsion and microemulsion systems may be further optimized using selected biosurfactants derived from fatty acids, sugars, amino-acid-related materials, and other well-characterized components, together with advanced high-pressure processing technologies.

Through specialized processing capabilities, rigorous ingredient qualification, and a portfolio of proprietary and patent-protected technologies, OBI provides advanced formulation platforms designed to support the development of high-performance functional skincare products.

Pulsed Titration is a structured skincare approach in which concentrated cosmetic formulations are used for short intervals, followed by a rest period with a simple moisturizer or supportive skincare product.

This alternating-use approach is designed to help optimize cosmetic performance while supporting skin comfort and minimizing the potential for irritation associated with continuous use of more intensive formulations.

Product strength and frequency of use may be adjusted based on individual skin characteristics, age, tolerance, and personal preference. Pulsed Titration provides a flexible method for incorporating advanced functional skincare products into a routine while maintaining a focus on skin appearance, texture, and overall condition.
