The evolution of sunscreen technology has moved beyond traditional creams and lotions. Now, the “encapsulated formulas” trend is rapidly growing in the global skincare industry. Skya Transdermic, as an innovative skincare company, provides you with this guide so that you can understand this advanced sunscreen technology and make your choice confidently in the international market.
Encapsulated Sunscreen Formulas: What is it?
Encapsulation is the process in which active sunscreen ingredients are enclosed in microscopic capsules. That means a protective shell is provided to the effective molecules present in the sunscreen, which slowly become active after being applied to the skin.
Main Objective:
Protection: Protect the ingredients from environmental factors (heat, light, oxygen).
Stability: Increase the shelf life of the formulation.
Controlled Release: Active ingredients are gradually released on the skin, so that they can give longer protection.
Why Does it Matter?
In traditional sunscreens, the active molecules often degrade or are absorbed quickly, which lowers their effectiveness. Encapsulation technology keeps them safe and provides better protection to the user.
How does Encapsulation work?
Microsphere/ Liposome Technology: Active agents such as UV filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, octinoxate, avobenzone, etc.) are enclosed in the microscopic spheres.
Intelligent Release Mechanism: After using these capsules, heat from skin, movement, or external triggers releases the actives.
Even & Sustainable Coverage: Due to encapsulation, the actives spread evenly on the skin surface, so there is no issue of patches or uneven application.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1. What do encapsulated sunscreens and ordinary sunscreens have in common?
Answer: In encapsulated sunscreen, the active ingredients are locked behind the protective shell and do not degrade thus releasing the agent gradually on the skin. This has wide spread and reduces the occurrence of irritation or allergies.
Question 2. Does encapsulated sunscreen suit sensitive types of skin?
Answer: Yes, as a result of the encapsulation, the active substances minimize the direct influence on the skin and do not produce itching or redness on sensitive skin. The formulae of Skya Transdermic are dermatologically tested.
Question 3. Does sunscreen come in water-proof (or sweat-proof) encapsulation?
Answer: The encapsulated molecules tend to adhere more on the surface in general, meaning their water/sweat resistance is stronger, yet different products will have varying resistance. The most results can be achieved when reapplying it after swimming or sweating.
Question 4. Is the effect of in-capsulated sunscreen long term?
Answer: Yes, this slow and controlled release is the primary benefit of encapsulation which can extend sun block as long as 6-8 hours, depending on the exposures and the type.
