In today’s market, where efficacy claims are closely scrutinized, measurable performance has become a decisive factor in product development. According to Mintel, over 67% of beauty consumers seek visible effectiveness when choosing skincare. This dual demand – scientific proof of efficacy combined with sensorial pleasure – requires rethinking how beauty products are conceived and manufactured.
With 150 in-house researchers, 16 laboratories, and dual expertise in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, ANJAC Health & Beauty places scientific research at the core of its mission to create the next generation of care solutions. Among its latest developments is Biodis+, a patent-pending nanoemulsion technology created through High Pressure Homogenization (HPH) that measurably boosts active penetration while preserving superior sensoriality.
High Pressure Homogenization:Expanding the Frontiers of Innovation
HPH is already known in the industry, but at ANJAC it takes on a new dimension. The Group combines two industrial-scale machines with two additional pilot units for agile product development. Mastery of process parameters allows formulators to create stable, homogeneous formulas, even with complex or high-fat phases, while exploring novel textures such as ultra-fluid skincare or aqueous, alcohol-free perfumes, ideal for sensitive skin. For a CDMO, this capability represents a true competitive advantage as the technology requires significant investments, deep knowledge of its operation and regular use to fully unlock its potential.
Biodis+ Technology: measurable efficacy, enhanced sensoriality
With Biodis+ Technology, a specific combination of ingredients, ANJAC harnesses the full power of HPH to develop new-generation beauty offers that enhance both ingredient performance and sensorial experience. Brands now have the possibility to obtain their own nanoemulsion, which can be incorporated as an ingredient blend into their products. These deliver three measurable benefits:
- Improved vectorization of actives for optimized efficacy
- Reinforced stability and better dispersion of ingredients
- Ultra-premium sensoriality with fine, gliding, ultrafluid textures
Biodis+ boosts the UV protection/SPF of formulas without increasing filter levels, enabling SPF 50+ performance with a reduced quantity of filters.* For the North American market, ANJAC now offers OTC compliant products made in USA. In skincare, the Surgery Skincare line with Biodis+ HA300, a hyaluronic acid nanoemulsion, achieved a +17% increase in active concentration in the epidermis, thanks to deeper diffusion (Fig. 1). In-house consumer testing of the formulas with a Visia device also showed a significant reduction of fine lines around the eye contours and plumper lips (Fig. 2).

Ready-to-use and tailor-made solutions
With ANJAC’s tested and scalable ready-to-use nanoemulsions, launches can start from just six months. For differentiation, brands can also co-develop tailor-made complexes, either to enhance a targeted benefit or to encapsulate signature ingredients and create proprietary nanoemulsions, leveraging scientific communication for their products. Applications cover skincare, dermocosmetics, photoprotection, makeup and fragrance, making Biodis+ Technology a versatile driver of innovation.
