Water-Soluble CBD for Skincare & Cosmeceutical Formulation
Trait GlycoRenew is a water-soluble CBD ingredient innovated specifically for topical, skincare, and cosmeceutical applications.
Unlike conventional CBD, which is water-insoluble and typically requires oils or emulsification systems for incorporation into water-based products, Trait GlycoRenew dissolves fully in water.
This true water solubility provides formulators with greater flexibility to develop transparent, elegant, and easy-to-formulate products such as serums, sprays, gels, shampoos, and other water-based skincare applications.
Trait GlycoRenew Delivers:
š¹ True Water Solubility
CBD dissolves fully in aqueous systems, enabling homogeneous formulations and precise ingredient distribution.
š¹ Superior Skin Permeation
Innovated to support efficient CBD delivery into the skin with improved permeation, while providing greater formulation flexibility.
š¹ Enhanced Formulation Flexibility
Compatible with a broad range of water-based topical and skincare product formats.
š¹ Clean, Simple Formulation
Enables water-based formulations without relying on traditional oil-based emulsification approaches.
š¹ Aesthetic Versatility
Supports clear, transparent, and lightweight product formats such as serums, sprays, gels, and other water-based applications.
The Challenge of Formulating CBD for Skincare
CBD is naturally oil-soluble and water-insoluble. This can create challenges when incorporating CBD into water-based skincare and topical formulations.
Conventional CBD often requires oils, emulsifiers, or other formulation approaches to disperse the ingredient in water-based products. These approaches can add formulation complexity and may affect product appearance, texture, stability, and development.
For beauty and skincare formulators, a truly water-soluble CBD ingredient provides greater flexibility when developing modern water-based products.
The Challenge of Being Water-Insoluble
Conventional CBD does not dissolve in water, making it difficult to create a true aqueous CBD solution.
Formulation Complexity
Water-insoluble CBD requires additional formulation components and processing steps to create a stable water-based product.
Stability Considerations
Emulsion-based formulations require careful formulation and process control to maintain stability and consistent ingredient distribution throughout shelf life.
Skin Delivery
For topical CBD formulations, effective skin delivery is an important consideration. Trait GlycoRenew is innovated to support CBD permeation into the skin while providing the CBD functional benefits of a water-soluble ingredient.
How Trait GlycoRenew Works
Trait GlycoRenew provides CBD in a water-soluble form innovated for topical and skincare formulation.
Its water-soluble properties allow CBD to dissolve fully in aqueous systems, enabling formulators to incorporate CBD directly into water-based formulations without relying on traditional oil-based delivery systems.
This provides opportunities for simpler formulations and product formats where transparency, appearance, texture, and ease of formulation are important.
True Water Solubility
Trait GlycoRenew dissolves fully in water to form a true aqueous solution rather than an emulsion or suspension.
Homogeneous Formulation
Complete water solubility helps distribute CBD evenly throughout an aqueous formulation, supporting consistent ingredient distribution.
Skin Delivery
Trait GlycoRenew is innovated to support efficient CBD permeation into the skin, making it suitable for topical and skincare applications.
Formulation Flexibility
Its water-soluble properties provide greater flexibility for formulators developing a variety of water-based skincare and personal care products.
Formulation Benefits for Beauty & Skincare
Trait GlycoRenew is innovated to help formulators incorporate CBD into water-based products with greater simplicity and flexibility.
Water-Based Formulations
Trait GlycoRenew can be incorporated directly into aqueous formulations without requiring CBD to first be dissolved in oil.
Simplified Formulation
True water solubility can reduce reliance on traditional oil-based CBD delivery approaches and simplify formulation development.
Stable Aqueous Systems
Because Trait GlycoRenew forms a true aqueous solution, it avoids oil-water separation associated with conventional emulsions.
Clear & Transparent Products
Trait GlycoRenew supports the development of clear and transparent formulations where product appearance is an important part of the consumer experience.
Lightweight Product Formats
Water-based CBD formulations can support lightweight textures and modern product formats commonly used in skincare and personal care.
Skin Delivery & Research
Effective topical formulation requires more than simply incorporating CBD into a product. The ingredient must also be able to interact with and permeate relevant skin layers.
Trait’s research focuses on understanding how its water-soluble CBD technologies behave in topical formulations and biological skin models.
Trait GlycoRenew is innovated to support efficient CBD skin permeation while providing the formulation advantages of a truly water-soluble ingredient.
