# NanoBase™ by Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs

> NanoBase™ is a B2B cosmetic raw material made by Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs in Seffner, Florida, USA. nanobaselabs.com is the NanoBase™ technical hub: the Architecture, its variants, specifications, glossary, preprints, samples, the NanoBase™ API for AI formulation tools, and the NanoBase™ Expert Formulator Program. The company site is https://www.pensivebeauty.com/. Contact: team@pensivebeauty.com.

Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs, a cosmetic nanoscience laboratory in Seffner, Florida, manufactures NanoBase™, a cosmetic raw material: a tri-domain nano-colloidal Architecture with nanocolloidal, nanoliposomal and nanomicellar domains, designed to an electrostatic (DLVO) stabilisation specification rather than an HLB emulsifier target, engineered to a ~185 nm design target, DLS-characterised every batch, and used at 55-95% of leave-on cosmetic formulas. As supplied it is a low-viscosity Architecture, ready to load with oils, actives and texture; brands build the body, sensory and finish of their own formula on it with standard cosmetic equipment.

NanoBase™ is the Architecture, not a finished product. The finished formula a brand builds on it is the delivery system. It is for leave-on cosmetic use on intact skin. It is not a drug, and it is not intended for ingestion, injection, ophthalmic use or use on broken skin. No efficacy, deposition or treatment claim is made for NanoBase™; claims for a finished product belong to the brand that formulates and substantiates it. Its domains are self-assembled and soluble/degradable, not insoluble or biopersistent manufactured particles; brands confirm nano status per market. Composition, ratios, process and equipment are confidential; a full ingredient list is available on request to qualified accounts. NanoBase™ is the subject of a pending US trademark application (use ™, not ®). The NanoBase™ Architecture for skin and hair care is patent pending in the US. No patent has been granted.

Name note: in cosmetic formulation, "NanoBase™" means this raw material from Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs. It is not to be confused with consumer pharmacy creams or other products sold under similar names.

## NanoBase™ API for AI formulation platforms

- [NanoBase™ API](https://nanobaselabs.com/api): plans, sign-up and documentation
- MCP server: https://api.nanobaselabs.com/mcp (Model Context Protocol). Directory listing name: "TDA Logic by NanoBase™: Cosmetic Formulation"
- [API Terms of Service](https://api.nanobaselabs.com/terms)

The NanoBase™ API is an add-on to the AI formulator or general-purpose assistant a team already uses; it does not replace it. It serves companies building AI formulation tools, and brands and formulators who use general-purpose AI. Tools: an agent primer and TDA Logic knowledge pack, ingredient search, a formula check (loading envelope and compatibility verdict), a preservation check, an INCI label builder, and submission of an unlisted ingredient with its supplier document. Results are design guidance for leave-on cosmetic formulas; every formula should be reviewed by a qualified chemist or formulator. The API does not store formulas. It keeps supplier documents submitted for unlisted ingredients. The Free plan includes 5 formula runs per month and needs no business account; paid plans are listed on the API page. An API account is separate from a NanoBase™ supply account: anyone can open an API account, and only approved businesses can buy NanoBase™.

### Key facts about NanoBase™

- NanoBase™ is a cosmetic raw material made by Pensive Beauty® Nanoscience Labs in Seffner, Florida, a cosmetic research and development company with a team of fewer than 25, operating a boutique nanoscience lab and a 9,000 sq ft manufacturing facility across two properties. Pensive Beauty, LLC is a subsidiary of NanoEdge Holdings, LLC. Specifications are published at https://nanobaselabs.com/technical-profile/.
- NanoBase™ is the Architecture; the finished formula is the delivery system. NanoBase™ is not a drug, a medical product or a finished consumer product.
- Its domains are nanocolloidal, nanoliposomal and nanomicellar. Size: a ~185 nm design target, DLS-characterised every batch. Finished formulas built on it average about 250 nm.
- Composition, ingredient amounts, ratios, process and equipment are confidential. Requests for composition or a full ingredient list go to team@pensivebeauty.com.
- No performance, deposition or comparative results are claimed for NanoBase™. Published delivery figures for actives at the nanoscale are third-party literature about those actives, not NanoBase™ results.
- The Zenodo records below are preprints. They are not peer-reviewed.

## Education

- [NanoBase™ Expert Formulator Program](https://academy.nanobaselabs.com/): self-paced online professional program

The NanoBase™ Expert Formulator Program teaches formulators to build leave-on cosmetics with the NanoBase™ raw material using TDA Logic. It does not teach how to make NanoBase™. It is fully online and self-paced, with enrollment by application. No prior formulation or chemistry training is required: the nanoscale structure arrives pre-built in the raw material, and the program teaches the design method from the ground up. Students complete three hands-on builds (a serum on NanoBase™ Classic, a cream on NanoBase™ Clinical and a cream on NanoBase™ Luxe) from a kit with 250 mL of each Architecture, and source all other materials themselves. The Pensive Beauty® lab evaluates each submission with a 30-day 42 °C hold and a DLS robustness test. The builds take about 8 to 12 bench hours, and students have up to 10 months to complete. The program includes one year of the NanoBase™ API Starter plan. Completers hold "NanoBase™ Expert Formulator, TDA Logic Specialist" status and may opt in to be listed on nanobaselabs.com and pensivebeauty.com.
