How Hydrasphere™ is Redefining Multifunctional Beauty

Imagine an ingredient so versatile, it can hydrate your skin, strengthen your hair, enhance your makeup, and even improve your oral health—all while being 100% natural and sustainably sourced. That’s the power of Oriel’s Hydrasphere™. Extracted from the depths of the sea, Hydrasphere™ is a groundbreaking ingredient packed with magnesium, minerals, and trace elements in their most bioavailable form. It’s a science-backed shift in how we formulate personal care products that are as multifunctional as they are effective.

What is Hydrasphere™?

At the core of Hydrasphere™ is Oriel’s deep-sea magnesium, minerals, and 78 trace elements—all in a free-ion form that offers superior bioavailability. Unlike traditional powdered magnesium that loses efficacy through digestion or transdermal absorption, Hydrasphere™ employs a patented hydration shell technology that protects these minerals until they reach their target, delivering them directly to skin, hair, and cells in just minutes.

Multifunctional Benefits Across Beauty Categories

Deep Hydration & Skin Barrier Fortification

Hydrasphere™ is a game-changer for skin hydration. Its minerals and trace elements improve moisture retention at all dermal layers, boosting skin hydration by 100% over a 24-hour period. It also strengthens the skin barrier, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) while maintaining a healthy pH balance. This is especially valuable for those looking to improve their skin’s elasticity, firmness, and overall resilience.

Anti-Aging and Regeneration

The free-ion magnesium in Hydrasphere™ supports collagen and hyaluronic acid production, vital for maintaining skin’s youthful appearance. It activates collagen-related genes, promoting collagen synthesis up to 20-fold and stimulating hyaluronic acid production. This offers visible anti-aging benefits, including improved skin texture, tone, and reduced fine lines. Hydrasphere™ also accelerates skin cell regeneration, making it effective in reducing scars, improving healing, and minimizing inflammation.

Makeup with Skin Benefits

As makeup trends shift toward skin-caring formulations, Hydrasphere™ presents a unique opportunity for cosmetic products to blend skincare with makeup. Its ability to improve hydration and enhance skin tone makes it ideal for foundations, primers, and setting sprays. Hydrasphere™ not only helps makeup wear better but also boosts the skin’s health during wear by delivering essential nutrients. Its lightweight, water-like consistency ensures it fits seamlessly into various liquid makeup formulations without altering texture or performance.

A Nutrient-Rich Addition for Oral Health

Beyond skincare and makeup, Hydrasphere™ offers remarkable benefits for oral care products. The free-ion magnesium and trace elements are absorbed sublingually, providing rapid nutrient delivery that supports oral health. This makes it a potent addition to mouthwashes and oral sprays, promoting gum health, reducing inflammation, and supporting the body’s natural defense systems. The ability of Hydrasphere™ to be absorbed quickly and efficiently at the cellular level ensures it delivers lasting benefits for oral hygiene.

Healthy Hair and Scalp

Hydrasphere™ supports healthy hair growth by improving blood circulation and promoting protein synthesis, both essential for vibrant, strong hair. It helps regulate calcium buildup on the scalp, which can lead to thinning hair, and also balances hormones that contribute to hair loss. Whether used in shampoos, conditioners, or scalp treatments, this ingredient is key to promoting thicker, stronger hair and reducing inflammation of the scalp.

Sustainable & Versatile

As clean beauty continues to rise in popularity, Hydrasphere™ fits perfectly into formulations aimed at sustainability and efficacy. Extracted from a deep-sea protected source using a sustainable process, it aligns with the values of eco-conscious consumers. This water-based, self-preserving ingredient also reduces the need for preservatives and stabilizers, making it easier to formulate clean, transparent beauty products across a wide variety of applications.

Why Formulators Love Hydrasphere™

Hydrasphere™ isn’t just effective—it’s also incredibly easy to formulate with. Its water-based, clear liquid form integrates seamlessly into skincare, haircare, makeup, and oral care formulations, all while offering the following advantages:

No Odor, No Color: Its neutral profile means it doesn’t interfere with the sensory experience of your final product.
Self-Preserving: Hydrasphere™ naturally preserves itself, eliminating the need for additional preservatives, which is a major bonus for clean beauty brands.
Low Usage Level: Effective at concentrations as low as 0.33%, making it cost-effective for large-scale production.
Sustainable and Natural: Extracted from a deep-sea source using eco-friendly processes, Hydrasphere™ is 100% natural and sustainable.

One Ingredient, Endless Benefits

In a beauty industry where consumers expect more from their products, Oriel’s Hydrasphere™ is the ultimate multifunctional ingredient. Its ability to enhance hydration, support anti-aging, boost collagen, and offer benefits for hair, scalp, oral care, and makeup makes it a powerhouse ingredient for formulators seeking to create high-performance, minimalist products. Hydrasphere™ offers a versatile, sustainable, and clinically proven solution that meets the demands of today’s beauty landscape.
