Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology is the science of very small things. We’ve chosen to share science with our Biotech partner InfusedbyEpic to deliver the highest and most bioavailable form of Botanicals, in Nano emulsions.


What are emulsions?

What is an emulsion? Well, it’s as simple as the combination of two substances that wouldn’t ordinarily mix. In layman's terms, oil and water. Many products we consume on a daily basis are emulsions. Butter, milk, mayonnaise, salad dressing, hollandaise sauce, etc. These are considered coarse emulsions and the average particle size is many microns (1 micron=1,000 nanometers).

What is Nano?

Utilizing nanotechnology, we are now able to reduce the overall particle size of bioactive molecules to below 50 nanometers. To put this into perspective, a human red blood cell is approximately 5,000 nanometers. This is a 100X reduction in size, which consequently increases the surface area by logarithmic proportions!

In addition to the inconceivably small nanoparticles, studies show that bioavailability is increased many times over. This means that the amount of the active molecule's intended absorption increases significantly by using Nano products.

Applications

When applied to the skin, nanoparticles can pass through the tight junctions between cells and follicles making them more effective. Since the skin is such an excellent barrier, this technology allows us to increase penetration and absorption to specific trans-dermal sites.

Nanotechnology also allows us to convert oil-soluble, botanical extracts into a water-miscible solution. This solution allows us to “infuse” our products with the most bioavailable form of botanicals on the market. 

Ultimate flexibility

1111 Essentials has the formulation ability to completely customize and blend bioactive ingredients together to craft the perfect Nano formulations. We only source the highest quality botanical extracts. Our goals are to make our formulations repeatable and effective.


By leveraging our experience in botanical wellness combined with cutting-edge delivery systems, we are confident that our products will align your senses and deliver the best product experience in the wellness space.
