Amphiphilic Patent
Amphiphilic Patent
Ætherbal’s patent-pending amphiphilic technology represents the culmination of years of research and development into a different approach to topical formulation. Amphiphilic systems have an affinity for both water and oil, allowing ingredients with very different properties to coexist within a more unified formulation. This principle is also found throughout nature, including within the phospholipid structures that form cellular membranes.
-
Oil + Water Integration
- Ætherbal’s amphiphilic system brings water-based and oil-based components together within a stable emulsion. This allows us to formulate botanical extracts, essential oils, botanical oils, minerals, and other diverse ingredients within one cohesive topical system.
-
Smooth + Non-Greasy
- The carefully balanced relationship between the water and oil phases creates a nourishing topical with a lightweight feel that absorbs quickly and leaves the skin without the heavy, greasy finish common to many traditional balms and ointments.
-
Molecular Diversity
- Our patent-pending formulation brings together ingredients with a wide range of molecular sizes and characteristics. This diversity allows the formula to interact with the skin in different ways while providing both surface-level botanical and moisturizing care.
-
Silicon Plasma Hydrate™
- The water-based foundation of our system is Orthosilicic Acid in the distinctive hydrated liquid/gel state we call Silicon Plasma Hydrate™. This technology forms the foundation of Ætherbal’s amphiphilic formulation system and allows our water- and oil-based ingredients to be incorporated together.
