SalSphere® Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO)

BPO is an FDA-approved acne treatment to clear pores and eradicate acne-causing bacteria. However, it is very difficult to formulate with due to these challenges. First, poor water solubility and high instability present a challenge. Second, it often results in skin dryness and discomfort. Third, its large particle size hinders its ability to penetrate the hair follicles and kill the acne-causing bacteria.

SalSphere® BPO is an encapsulation technology designed to enhance the acne treatment and tackle these BPO issues. SalSphere® BPO has superior stability and is more easily incorporated into finished products. Additionally, SalSphere® BPO has been designed to be compatible when combined with other encapsulated SalSphere® Rx actives for acne to maximize the efficiency without compromising stability.
