MAREA

Objective

The overall objective of the MAREA project is to study and evaluate new advanced coating materials for use in microencapsulation processes that enable the production of microcapsules with new properties, such as targeted release to skin target cells. These microcapsules will be applied in the cosmetics sector as ingredients in cosmetic formulations for dermal use.

Activities

1. Definition of the requirements for advanced encapsulation materials
2. Development and synthesis of advanced encapsulation materials
3. Characterisation and efficacy of advanced encapsulation materials
4. Communication and dissemination
5. Transfer and promotion of results
6. Management and coordination
