Custom Precision Loading

For the first time in
cosmetics — load your
active inside an exosome.

Load and stabilize your proprietary active inside an XO-Cargo™ exosome. Custom precision loading gives clinics and brands access to the same technology behind XO-Cargo™ AA — applied to compatible cosmetic actives.

The Opportunity

A fundamentally different delivery proposition.

Conventional topical delivery presents your active to the skin as a free molecule. It degrades in formulation, contacts the skin surface before reaching its target, and requires high inclusion levels to compensate for what is lost. Precision-loading inside an XO-Cargo™ exosome has been shown to change each of these dynamics – protecting the active, directing its delivery, and enabling comparable or enhanced performance at lower inclusion levels.

Four reasons to load your active

Enhanced Efficacy

The exosome’s natural delivery capability amplifies the performance of loaded actives.

0.0 HRIPT

Loaded actives don’t contact the skin surface as free molecules, minimizing the potential for irritation associated with traditional delivery methods. Both XO-Cargo™ AA and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 loaded into a milk exosome achieved 0.0 HRIPT across all subjects.

Long-Term Stability

Lyophilization locks the loaded active inside the exosome for more than 30 months at ambient temperature. Many free actives degrade within hours in formulation.

Cost Efficiency

Actives precision-loaded into XO-Cargo™ exosomes achieve clinically proven results at significantly lower inclusion levels than free actives require — reducing formulation cost without compromising performance.

How it works

  • 01Feasibility assessmentShare your active under NDA. We assess suitability, and after feasibility is confirmed provide a fully detailed and costed Statement of Work for loading your active.
  • 02Precision loadingWe precision-load your active into XO-Cargo™ exosomes, lyophilize and package for dispatch.
  • 03Ready to formulateYou receive a fully characterized, loaded exosome ingredient — complete with encapsulation characterization data, certificate of analysis, and safety documentation. Ready for formulation.

What you can load

Compatible with a broad range of cosmetic actives.

Custom Precision Loading is available for peptides, vitamins, botanical extracts and other compatible cosmetic actives. Loading feasibility is confirmed prior to production. Full encapsulation characterization is provided with every batch. Your intellectual property is fully protected under NDA throughout.

The Proof

Already proven on one of the world’s most trusted peptides.

In an independent four-arm clinical study, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 — one of the most clinically established peptide combinations in cosmetic formulation — was precision-loaded into an XO-Cargo™ milk exosome at 0.01% w/w inclusion. The standard inclusion rate for this ingredient is 1–3%. At a 100 to 300 times lower dose, results were statistically significant for the improvement in the appearance of skin elasticity at Day 28.
