What SOLESENCE, INC. does
In the company’s own words
Solésence, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLSN) is a science-driven health and wellness company specializing in skin health innovation and engineered materials for beauty, personal care, and advanced applications. The company operates under the website ir.solesence.com and maintains development, testing, and manufacturing facilities in the Chicago, Illinois area.
The company operates through three primary product categories. Consumer products represent the largest revenue segment at 88 percent of total revenue, consisting of fully formulated finished cosmetic products including skin care, sun care, and color cosmetics marketed under proprietary technology platforms. The Active Stress Defense family of technologies, including Solésence Kleair, provides mineral-based UV protection, pollution protection, and blue light protection across multiple product formats. Personal care ingredients comprise approximately 10 percent of revenue and include surface-engineered zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sold as active pharmaceutical ingredients to major global consumer products companies for sunscreens and skin health applications. Advanced materials represent the remaining revenue from legacy applications in medical diagnostics, architectural coatings, and industrial uses.
Solésence employs 115 full-time employees plus 90 to 225 temporary and temporary-to-permanent workers on a demand-driven basis. The company operates two leased facilities in the Chicago suburbs: a 36,000 square-foot headquarters and research facility in Romeoville and a 261,000 square-foot production and warehouse facility in Bolingbrook. All manufacturing processes comply with FDA current Good Manufacturing Practice standards and are registered under ISO 9001, ISO 22716, and ISO 14001 certifications.
The company's competitive advantages stem from proprietary particle coating and dispersion technologies enabling the creation of engineered materials at nano and non-nano scales. The vertically integrated business model allows simultaneous development of ingredient technologies and finished formulations. Solésence has developed and commercialized over 950 SKUs of finished cosmetic products and maintains long-term relationships with major customers including BASF Corporation. The company holds 11 U.S. patents and 123 foreign patents and applications focused on health and wellness applications. Originally incorporated in Illinois in 1989 and rebranded from Nanophase Technologies Corporation in March 2025, Solésence sells consumer products to brand partners in prestige and mass beauty markets rather than directly to consumers.
