Zylö’s Z-pod™ topical delivery system–originally licensed from Albert Einstein College of Medicine–overcomes bioavailability challenges by providing: (i) improved stability; (ii) sustained release; (iii) targeting of the hair follicle unit (iv) reduced enzymatic degradation; and (v) the ability to provide sustained release of nitric oxide. Importantly, we also enable intellectual property claims around non-proprietary actives incorporated into our technology. | The patented Z-pod® sustained-release delivery system (discovered at Einstein College of Medicine) improves your product’s performance and enables premium pricing. You can now claim that your product “nourishes the skin with your hero ingredient 24/7” or “fights against acne blemishes 24/7″ or figts the skin-aging process 24/7.” We can load almost any hero ingredient into our Z-pods®, which are micron-sized amorphous silica particles. The Z-pods® are then incorporated into a cream, lotion, foam, serum, etc. by you or your CMO. Once applied, the Z-pods® embed deep into the stratum corneum and into the follicular unit, giving the hero ingredient a head start into the skin. From there, the Z-pods® release your hero ingredient slowly over time via diffusion, delivering lasting benefits to the skin for up to 24 hours, enhancing product performance.
