This is the territory of the scientists at Noble Panacea, the skincare brand based on the discoveries by Sir Fraser Stoddart, a Nobel Prize winner who designed molecules to perform certain tasks. His breakthrough had nothing to do with skincare—at first. He worked with chemists, who in turn found a way to load active ingredients into cavities in something they called OSMV, for Organic Super Molecular Vessels. “It’s almost like a cage where you would put a bird and then, at some point, you open the door and the bird flies away,” says Céline Talabaza, the CEO and co-creator of Noble Panacea.
