The product of innovative encapsulation technology, these beads are designed to act as a powerful and exciting anti-aging active. Each small bead is a source of potent vitamins A, C and E inside a matrix, made from naturally-derived cellulose.
This active is perfect for products targeting skin renewal, enhanced skin structure, moisturization, brightening and environmental protection with this combination of 3 vitamin ingredients.
Vitamin A to assist with cellular turnover, Vitamin C to assist with brightening and collagen production, and Vitamin E to assist with free radical protection.
Furthermore, it offers unique visual appeal, enhanced product appearance, improved consumer experience and showcase of active ingredients. The hard beads soften in the formulation and melts on the skin during application, releasing the vitamins while leaving no shell behind.
Applications in: surfactant & alcohol-based formulations, body washes, scrubs, face cleansers, hand soaps, shampoos, creams & lotions, gels & serums and hand sanitizers.
Solubility: These beads are not meant to dissolve into your product. They can be suspended in a water-based product with the addition of a thickening agent that has sufficient yield stress (Carbomer, Sepimax Zen, Crosspolymer Thickener) or mixed into your emulsion after cool-down. The beads will soften after 24-48 hours but not break. They break open and deliver the vitamins when rubbed into the skin without feeling abrasive.
