In the age of COVID-19, consumers are seeking out health and wellness products to protect and nourish them mentally and physically. Encapsulation patent filings describe technologies that preserve and deliver concentrated active ingredients to the skin to maximise benefits. These technologies provide a set of wellness improvements for skin and hair sought after by consumers.

Mintel research shows that consumers are interested in dermatological-type products to optimise results. Encapsulation can be used to stabilise and deliver concentrated actives in these formulations. Over the last few years, South Korea and China have increased usage of encapsulation active ingredients in new facial skincare launches. The number of patent families describing compositions with encapsulated ingredients in cosmetic formulations is on the rise, with the majority of granted patents in South Korea.

The number of patents for immunity-improving food and drinks continues to increase, with the majority of recent patents focusing on botanicals. Recent patent filings also focus on specialised nutrition or supplements to improve immune function among the elderly and individuals suffering from chronic diseases.
