X50 Capsules®

Infinitec's (Evonik) X50 Capsules® is an advanced delivery system, formerly called the Intelligent Targeting Device (ITD), that transports active ingredients directly to target cells. This complex system can be considered a notable milestone in the evolution of cosmetic delivery platforms, enabling precise cell targeting and controlled release of actives into the skin cells. The technology is also trademarked as The Cosmetic Drone®.

X50 Capsules are dual‑layer structures composed of an inner matrix of Lactic Acid/Glycolic Acid Copolymer (PLGA) covered by an outer Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) layer. Produced using a solvent evaporation/diffusion technique, these capsules range in size from 180 to 400 nm, enabling endocytosis (cell internalization) and the direct release of actives into the cytosol. According to Infinitec, they are up to 50 times more effective than conventional nanoparticles.

The system becomes an Intelligent Targeting Device when targeting peptide ligands are conjugated to the outer layer of the X50 capsule. These ligands guide the capsule toward specific receptors on target dermal cells.

Since its introduction, the X50 Capsules® platform has served as a foundation for developing increasingly efficient cosmetic complexes and delivering active ingredients inside target cells. Rather than being a recent invention, it is now recognized as a mature technology that continues to influence the design of next‑generation delivery systems.

X50 Lightening is a liposomal vitamin-peptide complex that intelligently lightens and brightens the skin. It is a skin-whitening agent that inhibits tyrosinase's enzymatic activity, helping lessen dermal pigmentation and even the skin tone.

X50 Myocept is a peptide, lactic and glycolic acid complex with drone delivery system. Targets skin neurons for a botox-like effect. Efficiently reduces muscle contractions; resulting in the decrease and prevention of lines and wrinkles.

X50 Silhouette is an encapsulated complex containing plant extract and a guiding peptide for "intelligent" slimming and trimming. It defines incredible progress in the fight against cellulite.

X50 Skin Barrier is a peptide complex with a drone delivery system. The Skin Care Drone® for keratinocytes. The most important, primary role of our skin barrier function is to prevent fluid loss, to protect water-rich organs from the dry environment.

X50® Antiaging is a peptide-based complex ingredient with a dual-layer capsule called X50, which anchors peptides on its surface, turning it into an intelligent targeting device (ITD) that targets cells and releases its antiaging payload to their

X50® Hyalufiller is a peptide-based complex ingredient with an advanced delivery mechanism (Cosmetic Drone™) and targeted release of biologically active components. The complex structure consists of three parts:

X50® Photoglow is a peptide complex that turns light into cell energy for glowing, luminous skin. It prevents wrinkles by producing new epidermal cells, reduces wrinkles by increasing collagen and elastin, and specifically targets fibroblast cells.

X50® Pure White is an innovative peptide-based complex that brightens the skin in an intelligent way.
