About Salvona
Scientists first.
Since 1998.
Salvona was founded in 1998 by Drs. Adi and Sam Shefer — scientists from MIT, Harvard and leading global institutions — to solve a stubborn problem: getting active ingredients where they need to work, and keeping them there. Today we design and manufacture proprietary delivery systems for skin care, personal care and topical pharmaceuticals in our own New Jersey facility.
What we do
Three ways to work with us.
Buy a ready-made delivery system today, have us design one around your active ingredient, or take it all the way to a finished product.

Our own science. Framed on the wall.
SalSphere®, HydroSal® and MultiSal® were developed in Salvona's own labs and are refined over more than 25 years of work with brands and formulators.
That's why we can tell you exactly how each delivery system is built, how it deposits and releases, and why it behaves the way it does.
