The Science behind the Scents

The new VernovaCaps+ microcapsules feature a polymer wall that demonstrates significantly higher ready biodegradability than previous versions, exceeding the OECD 301 testing requirement of 60%, with a 90% biodegradability rate in 28 days compared to 80% in our first VernovaCaps launch. 

Comprehensive laboratory testing of VernovaCaps+ reveals superior perfume performance compared to both VernovaCaps and traditional non-biodegradable melamine-formaldehyde based capsules. Additionally, VernovaCaps+ offers a higher perfume load —35% compared to 30% in the original VernovaCaps technology.

All the performance of our traditional encapsulation technology NeoTouch® for personal care applications (deodorants, shower products and shampoos) in a new biodegradable format.

A significant advancement in our biodegradable malodour-neutralizing technology, Vernova®Pure. The upgraded fragrance technology delivers advanced odour control, enhanced fragrance integration, and greater creative flexibility, positioning itself as a key innovation in the new era of Iberchem’s malodour control fragrance creation.

This new technology will serve as a base for O-DOOR®, the new digital creation platform dedicated to Vernova®Pure Pro that provides perfumers with a robust database and technical framework, enabling the development of more effective, targeted, and sophisticated fragrance solutions against bad odours.

Powered by Vernova®Pure Pro technology, O-DOOR® is designed to provide perfumers with a digital map showing an ingredient’s ability to neutralise malodour, acting as a digital palette so our perfumers can excerise their creativity while being backed by science.

At the core of the O-DOOR® platform is Venova®Pure Pro, the key molecule embedded within the fragrance structure. The platform operates on a multi-layered technology framework comprising: Vernova®Pure Pro, targeted neutralizing agents and blocking agents that inhibit odor receptor activation.

Fragrance diffusivity (or bloom) is undoubtedly one of the most requested attributes by consumers. From cleaning to washing-up liquids, shampoos and shower gels, Iberchem’s NUBIRAWAVE® has been specially designed to give your product a burst of perfume and emotion during use.

This 2-in-1 digital platform combines blooming diffusion physics with neuroscience insights to help design fragrances that deliver enhanced performance and a longer-lasting sensory experience during use in rinse-off products.

NovaSilk® is Iberchem’s technology designed to create alcohol-free fragrances systems with a characteristic milky or pearlescent appearance. It allows fragrances to be incorporated into water-based systems through a macroemulsion structure that disperses the fragrance within the aqueous phase.

By combining fragrance expertise with macroemulsion technology, NovaSilk® enables the development of fragrance formats that offer a cosmetic-inspired sensorial experience, creating new possibilities beyond traditional hydroalcoholic perfumes.

NovaSilk®Clear is an alcohol-free fragrances microemulsion technology developed to enable the incorporation of fragrances into water-based systems while maintaining a transparent appearance, together with a light sensorial profile and suitable physical stability.

In these systems, the fragrance is solubilised within the aqueous phase through a microemulsion structure, allowing the creation of clear fragrance formats without the use of ethanol as a solvent.

Our in-house neuroscience investigation programme, WAVEMOTION®, guides Iberchem's mood-enhancing fragrance creation with a patented methodology to scientifically evaluate the impact of fragrance on human psychology and physiology.

A scientific study that measures conscious and unconscious data when people smell the fragrances using multi-dimensional, state-of-the-art neuroscientific techniques.
