Alfa's partner, Gattefossé, offers a unique solution to taste-masking and/or protection
of active ingredients.
By forming a lipophilic film and acting as an efficient barrier against water migration,
oxygen, or bad taste, lipid excipients have proven to be of high interest for many
fragile molecules requiring protection.
