QUSOMES^TM:The Leading Edge in Cosmetic Delivery Technology

QuSome formulations have been developed with a wide range of active ingredients. Better organoleptics are achieved with QuSomes, giving a whiter, non-tacky, odorless, more stable product for topical applications.

New Cosmetic Delivery Solutions

BioZone Laboratories proudly introduces a new, patented cosmetic delivery technology. QuSomes are a lipid-based delivery system that is more cost effective than conventional technologies and substantially more versatile at satisfying the need for more effective skin care products.

New Spontaneous Liposomes

QuSomes form spontaneously upon addition of water, without standard heating, cooling and agitation methods. Therefore it is easier to encapsulate active ingredients.
QuSomes can be:
    - Unilamellar liposomes
    - Multilamellar liposomes

Lower Cost

The cost of QuSome raw materials is significantly lower than phospholipids that make liposomes, which reduces product costs. QuSomes can be used in higher concentrations, compared to expensive conventional phospholipids that form liposomes, thereby providing higher encapsulation rate for improved therapeutics.

Improved Organoleptics

QuSome formulations have been developed with a wide range of active ingredients. Better organoleptics are achieved with QuSomes, giving a whiter, non-tacky, odorless, more stable product for topical applications.

Strong Intellectual Property

BioZone Laboratories has invented and reduced to practice its QuSome drug delivery technology. QuSome technology is patented.

BioZone Formulation Expertise

Years of formulation experience in developing cosmetic and pharmaceutical products with liposomes and QuSomes ensure your success.

The QuSome Advantages

Multiple QuSome formulations have been developed for a wide range of applications. QuSomes can encapsulate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic ingredients and solubilize small molecules, peptides, and proteins.

QuSomes can be delivered in various administration routes, including

QuSomes achieve higher encapsulation of active ingredients than liposomes. QuSomes can be used in higher concentrations due to the lower cost of the starting materials, thereby enhancing encapsulation of the active ingredient.

QuSomes are produced in an aqueous process while competing liposomal systems require the use of expensive and environmentally toxic organic solvents. This cleaner, safer and easily scalable manufacturing process saves time, thus lowering costs in the product development and manufacturing process.

Proven Benefits Compared to Liposomes

Comparative encapsulation % profile of CoQ10 for 3 months at room temperature.

Topical Penetration Study - Penetration Equals Efficacy

The QuSome delivery system delivers a greater amount of the active ingredients to the skin as compared to conventional vehicles.
