Omya launched Cosmospheres as a new vessel to transport active ingredients effectively. The Swiss industrial minerals specialist created an attractive solution to deliver active ingredients, suitable for all kinds of personal care formulations. Cosmospheres are made from cellulosic beads, which cosmetic manufactures can infuse with liquid or powdered actives.
Cosmospheres release their ingredients upon low friction application. The cells break and release their content, mixing with other ingredients in the formulation, without residue. They are available in several colors for an appealing visual effect. The beads are based on microcrystalline cellulose and are available as either lactose or vegan mannitol. Beauty manufacturers can load the beads with color pigments, pols, fragrances, vitamins, cooling or warming sensory agents, and more for multifunctional applications.
