Kobo has announced the recent development of a patent-pending, high refractive index, low centistoke phenyl trimethicone that has opened the door to unexpected benefits.
Kobo now offers a series of colour dispersions – PT1 Dispersions – in this new carrier that can contribute to transfer resistance, long wear, softness and gloss in various cosmetic and personal care applications. These phenyl silicone fluid dispersions offer a unique sensory profile in comparison to dispersions in cyclopentasiloxane, to achieve desirable and comparable formulation results. The opportunity to formulate using this optimised phenyl fluid allows chemists to further utilise optical reflective properties with higher volatility to reach new limits.
Also highlighted is Kolor Gel D5 – a foundation colour simplified with predispersed colour composites in a unique elastomer gel. These composites are available in light, medium, and dark combinations for easy colour additions to formulations. Use of these materials aids in colour matching and enriches formulas with a silky, spreadable feel.
