To tackle global micronutrient deficiency crises, MIT researchers have developed a new class of biodegradable materials that could serve as a substitute for the plastic beads currently found in beauty products. These innovative polymers decompose into safe sugars and amino acids. In their recent study, the researchers demonstrated that these particles can effectively encapsulate essential nutrients like vitamin A.
