Company

Tecrea's Nanocin platform enhances beard hair growth by effectively delivering active ingredients like minoxidil and caffeine into hair follicles. This technology ensures retention and deep penetration, improving growth outcomes. Currently at TRL 4, it awaits further validation.

Overview

Tecrea's innovative Nanocin hydro-colloid delivery platform is designed to enhance beard hair growth by ensuring the effective delivery of active ingredients into the hair follicles. This technology leverages the persistent retention on hair and skin, allowing ingredients such as minoxidil, rosemary oil, and caffeine to maintain efficacy over extended periods. Nanocin's ability to penetrate keratin and corneal tissues ensures that active molecules reach deep into the hair follicle, thereby enhancing beard growth outcomes.
