Abstract

A Microsponge Delivery System (MDS) is highly cross-linked, porous, polymeric microspheres polymeric system consisting of porous microspheres that can entrap wide range of actives and then release them onto the skin over a time and in response to trigger. It is a unique technology for the controlled release of topical agents and consists of Microporous beads, typically 10-25 microns in diameter, loaded with active agent. When applied to the skin, the MDS releases its active ingredient on a time mode and also in response to other stimuli (rubbing, temperature, pH, etc). MDS technology is being used in cosmetics, over-the-counter (OTC) skin care, sunscreens and prescription products. Delivery system comprised of a polymeric bead having network of pores with an active ingredient held within, to provide controlled release of the active ingredients whose final target is skin itself.
