Bakunova Xnova Technology Platform

Advanced delivery science for high-performance cosmetic actives.
One integrated platform, engineered around each ingredient and product objective.
The Xnova™ Technology Platform is Bakunova’s integrated delivery platform developed to transform premium cosmetic active ingredients into high-performance, formulation-ready solutions.
Rather than applying one delivery system to every active, Xnova evaluates physicochemical properties, stability, solubility, target skin layer and formulation requirements to identify the most suitable technology.
This ingredient-specific approach supports enhanced stability, improved skin penetration, optimized bioavailability, controlled release and superior formulation compatibility.
One platform. Multiple delivery technologies.
The Xnova Platform integrates six advanced technologies selected according to the characteristics and performance requirements of each cosmetic active.

Engineered for the active. Ready for formulation.
We work collaboratively from active ingredient evaluation through formulation optimization, tailoring every delivery pathway to the intended product objective.
- 01
Active evaluation
Assessment of physicochemical properties, stability constraints and intended cosmetic benefit.
- 02
Technology selection
Selection based on the ingredient, target skin layer and desired finished-product format.
- 03
System engineering
Optimization of loading, particle characteristics, release behaviour and formulation compatibility.
- 04
Performance validation
Evaluation through relevant delivery, efficacy, stability and safety models.
Built on integrated scientific validation.
Our framework connects delivery performance with biological relevance, safety and formulation feasibility.
- Human skin permeation and tissue retention
- Biomarker and cytokine pathways
- Disease-relevant cellular efficacy
- Irritation, corrosion and cytotoxicity
- RHE and validated human cell models
- Integrated technology differentiation
