The Importance of Transdermal Absorption in Skincare

In the field of skincare, the efficacy of cosmetics depends not only on the ingredients themselves but also closely relates to the efficiency of transdermal absorption.

How to precisely deliver active ingredients to the target areas of the skin has always been a key focus and challenge for the industry.

Physical penetration enhancement technologies are emerging as a treasure trove waiting to be explored. These technologies refer to the use of physical means to alter the structure of the stratum corneum of the skin, thereby enhancing the permeability of ingredients.

According to a report by iiMedia Research, in 2024, Chinese consumers' top concerns when purchasing cosmetics were product ingredients (58.8%) and product efficacy (41.4%).

Over 30% of consumers believed that the main issues with cosmetics were vague product descriptions and short duration of efficacy.

This indicates that consumers' demands for skincare products are no longer limited to ingredients and efficacy alone; their attention to the actual absorption efficiency and effectiveness of ingredients is increasing.
