# Long-Lasting Skincare Ingredient Packaging Tagra Debuts CelluCap for Retinol and Vitamin A By Grace Mahas | Published 2021-04-19 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellucap References: [tagra](https://tagra.com/tagra-leader-in-microencapsulation-technology/?dm_i=8EU) & [youtube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhRMBNNM9L8) Tagra Biotechnologies recently released CelluCapTM for long-lasting [retional and vitamin A ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-retinal-24). The leading microencapsulation allows ingredients to remain fresh and only be released when the user applies them to their skin. The CelluCapTM R and CelluCapTM A ensure these active ingredients remain fully potent and effective longer. This is because these ingredients beloved for their [anti-aging properties](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antiaging-technology) are sensitive to oxidation and degrade " in the presence of air, sunlight, acidic conditions, and heavy metals, making them less stable and potent (and therefore, less effective)." To keep these ingredients potent, Tagra Biotechnologies created a [single layer of polymeric shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trinny-london-naked-ambition) that collapses and breaks down into invisible particles when applied, "yet still retains its stability to continue delivery over time."
