The Science Behind the Gold

Nano-Encapsulation

How we transform curcumin into ultra-fine 100–200nm particles that are suspended in the Golden Matrix™ polymer and applied directly to skin.

Understanding Scale

How Small Is Nano?

A nanometer is one billionth of a meter. Our curcumin particles are processed to 100–200nm — invisible to the naked eye, but visible as the golden color in every patch.

What's Inside a
Nano-Particle

Standard curcumin is hydrophobic — it resists water and is difficult to work with in topical formats. Nano-encapsulation solves this by wrapping curcumin in a water-dispersible shell at the nanometer scale.

Each particle is 350–700x smaller than a human hair. At this scale, curcumin becomes water-dispersible and can be uniformly suspended in the polymer matrix of every Via Piel patch.

How the Patch Works

When the Golden Matrix™ contacts skin, nano-curcumin particles nano-curcumin particles remain in steady contact with the skin's surface.

Key Properties

Why Nano Matters

01

Water-Dispersible

Standard curcumin is hydrophobic. Nano-encapsulation creates a water-dispersible form that integrates uniformly into the polymer matrix — no clumping, no hot spots, no inconsistency.

02

Sustained Contact

Nano-scale particles remain in contact with the skin steadily over time rather than all at once. This is why a single Via Piel patch is designed for up to 12 hours of wear — sustained, not sudden.

03

Visible Quality

Billions of nano-curcumin particles suspended in the polymer matrix create the distinctive golden color. Before you apply, the gold confirms your patch is fresh and nano-curcumin is present — a built-in quality indicator you can see.

Science you can see.
