In today’s skincare market, the undisputed key topic is skin absorption.
Consumers are no longer swayed by ingredient percentages alone; they closely
evaluate whether active ingredients are truly delivered deep into the skin.
However, conventional technologies used to enhance penetration have consistently
posed significant challenges for brand owners and formulation developers alike.
Today, OTCM introduces 'EZLite'—the smartest booster for skin absorption.
Powered by
proprietary bioconversion technology, EZLite overcomes the limits of existing
delivery systems, simultaneously delivering exceptional formulation convenience and
potent active ingredient delivery.
What makes EZLite so extraordinary? Let’s examine the bottlenecks of conventional
technologies first.
point 1
What Were the Limitations of Conventional Absorption
Technologies?
Traditional liposome and encapsulation technologies, long utilized to deliver
active ingredients deep into the skin, have presented three clear limitations:
Cluttered INCI Lists
Excessive secondary additives—such as shell-forming agents and lipid
membrane components—must be added, conflicting with today's consumer
demand for clean beauty and minimalist INCI formulations.
High Manufacturing Costs
Multi-step encapsulation and high-pressure homogenization processes
inevitably drive up production costs, significantly undermining commercial
competitiveness.
Compromised Stability & Inconsistent Delivery
Due to their bilayer architecture, liposomes suffer from thermodynamic
instability leading to capsule collapse and phase separation. Furthermore,
limited encapsulation efficiency and leakage issues result in substantial
variations in actual skin delivery.

The OTCM Solution: EZLite®, an Oil with Exceptional Skin
Affinity
OTCM took a fundamentally different approach—completely eliminating complex
encapsulation processes and unnecessary additives.
What is EZLite®?
EZLite® is an optimized lipid ingredient created through a proprietary
bioconversion technology (enzymatic process) that acts like molecular scissors.
By cleaving heavy plant oils (TAG) into lightweight, skin-mimetic structures (MAG,
DAG, FFA), it maximizes skin affinity and deep penetration without sitting on the
surface.
Why Is EZLite® Special? A Natural Penetration Enhancer
The core of EZLite® lies in its Skin Mimetic structure, which closely emulates the
lipid composition of human sebum. Because its profile closely mirrors
natural skin components, it exhibits exceptional skin affinity—interacting
seamlessly with the skin without leaving a greasy or superficial residue.
Furthermore, its distinctive flexible lipid molecular structure gently relaxes
the tightly packed intercellular lipid barrier to maximize membrane fluidity.
Through this enhanced fluidity, EZLite® goes far beyond traditional moisturizing
oils, functioning as a Natural Penetration Enhancer that fluidly navigates through
rigid skin barriers to deliver active ingredients deep into the skin.
A Smarter INCI Profile with Just a Single Ingredient
Free from additional synthetic coating agents, it maintains a clean and minimal INCI
list, perfectly optimized for clean beauty marketing.

The All-in-One Absorption Booster: Capturing Both
Moisture and Oils
Lipophilic (oil-soluble) actives are often blocked by the skin's moisture layers,
while hydrophilic (water-soluble) actives are hindered by lipid layers, leaving
them lingering on the surface.
EZLite®, however, features a unique amphiphilic structure that seamlessly interacts
with both water and oil. Acting as a hybrid carrier that navigates freely through
both aqueous and lipid pathways within the skin, it effortlessly delivers any
active ingredient deep beneath the surface without barrier resistance.
point 3
Visible Proof: The Active Delivery Efficacy of EZLite®
Using state-of-the-art Raman Spectroscopy—which analyzes real-time changes in
active ingredient concentration layer by layer without damaging the skin
structure—we directly verified the superior delivery performance of EZLite®.
The results confirmed that incorporating EZLite® significantly accelerates the
penetration rate of active ingredients through the stratum corneum, ensuring their
stable and deep delivery into the skin.
