Far from questioning the importance and progress that chemistry has brought to our well-being, it is time to shift our perspective and adopt more responsible and…
Read moreRetinol has become one of the star ingredients in skincare due to its proven effectiveness against ageing, hyperpigmentation and acne. However, its high sensitivity to light, oxygen and heat limits its stability and efficacy if not formulated properly. To overcome this, we turn to microencapsulation, an innovative technique that has become a key solution in…
Read moreThe ionic gelation method is a widely applied technique in the field of microencapsulation, particularly in sectors such as food and cosmetics. Its success lies in the ability to immobilise or encapsulate active compounds under mild conditions, while preserving their functionality, stability, and bioavailability. In this article, we explore in detail what the ionic gelation…

The origin of precision agriculture dates back to the 1980s, when the first satellite navigation systems (GPS) began to be used in agricultural machinery. Over time, the incorporation of remote sensing technologies and cloud computing has enabled significant development of this practice. The evolution toward Agriculture 4.0 has accelerated in the last decade thanks to…
Read moreThe cosmetic products legislation (Regulation 1223/2009) of the European Union works to identify and properly manage substances with potential as endocrine disruptors, as established in its Article 15.4:“4. When Community or international criteria for identifying substances as endocrine disruptors are available, or at the latest by 11 January 2015, the Commission shall review the Regulation…
