The Carinsa Group, a company dedicated to the manufacture of fragrances and aromas for various sectors, continues to excel in product innovation. The company is launching an ambitious project: SUNCAP, which focuses on the development of advanced cosmetic formulations, particularly in sunscreens, through new active ingredient delivery systems.

For more than fifteen years, the Carinsa Group's Fragrance Division has used encapsulation technology as a fundamental pillar in the detergency and cosmetics sectors. This approach has led to the creation of the CARINCAP technology platform, which offers a wide range of encapsulation technologies and high value-added polymers. CARINCAP has not only revolutionised cosmetics and detergents, but has also found applications in diverse areas such as metal lubrication, bioplastics manufacturing and regenerative biomedicine.

The global microencapsulation sector is currently facing a repositioning due to restrictions on the use of microplastics in final formulations. In response to these restrictions, Carinsa Group has developed biodegradable solutions that are already available on the market, demonstrating its ability to anticipate regulatory changes without compromising efficiency and cost.

The SUNCAP project represents a step forward in this direction, researching and developing active ingredient delivery systems that not only preserve the integrity of these ingredients, but also provide new functional properties. This effort is particularly focused on cosmetic formulations including sunscreens, where it is crucial to avoid the release of microplastics into marine ecosystems.

The implementation of the SUNCAP project strengthens one of Carinsa's strategic lines, consolidating the CARINCAP platform as a benchmark in technological innovation in encapsulation. With this initiative, Carinsa Group positions itself as a key player in the multifunctional cosmetics sector and strengthens its leadership both at national and European level, offering disruptive solutions with high added value for various sectors.
