Sensory Powders

Beads

Micro-spherical powders are often used as feel enhancers in make-up and skin care applications. The sensorial experience of these fillers is driven by the shape, size and chemical nature of the beads. They also provide immediate optical and blurring effects that can make skin looks smoother and decrease fine lines, for a camera-ready look.

Talc Alternatives

Talc has many uses in cosmetics and other personal care products. For example, it may be used to absorb moisture, to prevent caking, to make facial makeup opaque, or to improve the feel of a product. However, in response to the growing trend of replacing talc with better received ingredients, we have come up with mineral sensory powders designed to substitute talc in cosmetic applications.
