Coating: a precision skillset
Technical functions of coating
For tablets and softgels, we apply aesthetic and functional coatings to achieve:
-
- Protection of sensitive ingredients against humidity, light, and oxidation
- Immediate or prolonged release depending on the intended site of action
- Improved swallowability and taste masking for optimal consumer comfort
Coating as a lever for sensoriality and storytelling
Beyond functionality, coating is a powerful way to enhance the sensory and visual experience of your products.
Our teams develop:
- Custom colours aligned with the product benefit (vitality, beauty, sleep, etc.)
- Dual-colour effects to highlight synergistic action
- Glossy, matte, or transparent finishes to reinforce premium appeal
- Natural colouring options that reflect evolving consumer expectations
A fully controlled production process
Each coating parameter is precisely adjusted to ensure perfect adhesion and a uniform finish. Our teams optimize suspension formulation, drying, and processing temperature to guarantee film stability and active protection.
With five production lines in France and Italy, we ensure consistent quality from pilot batches to industrial scale for tablets and softgels.

Frequently asked questions about coating
What is coating in dietary supplements?
Coating is a thin layer applied to a tablet or softgel to improve its stability, protection, and visual appearance.
At Naturacare, we apply functional, enteric, and aesthetic coatings, adapted to the technical and marketing needs of each nutraceutical brand.
What is the difference between standard coating and enteric coating?
Standard coating protects the tablet from humidity and can mask taste. Enteric coating enables delayed release in the intestine, preserving actives from gastric acidity. We offer both technologies depending on the product profile and target site of action.
What are the advantages of titanium dioxide–free coating?
Titanium dioxide–free coatings meet clean label expectations and evolving European regulations.
We use natural colourants to ensure an attractive appearance and maintain consumer trust.
Can the colour or finish of a tablet or softgel be customised?
Yes. We develop fully customised coatings based on product positioning: thematic colours (vitality, beauty, sleep), brand signature colours, and matte or glossy finishes.
