Suggested Use Levels: 5-20%
Applications: Makeup, skin care
Comments: Aurasphere A is an anhydrous complex developed from the technology behind Penstia Powder, dispersed in a moisturizing gel base. In addition to line blurring and wrinkle filling properties, this unique ingredient imparts long wearing properties, a novel sensory feel and a silicone cushion to your products without the use of cyclomethicone.

Beauactive
INCI: Hydroxystearic acid
Suggested Use Levels: Up to 1%
Applications: Makeup, skin care
Comments: Beauactive is a potent hydroxystearic acid of high purity which is manufactured using green technology. In vitro studies have shown that Beauactive activates the master cell regulator PPARα which triggers multi-target effects for better skin. Upon UVB stress, Beauactive hinders the production of both sunburn cells and the stress marker p53 which can increase skin pigmentation. Beauactive also helps the skin to make more collagen, a key structural factor in the prevention of conspicuous facial pores. In vivo studies have confirmed the outstanding efficacy of Beauactive which results in a visible reduction of conspicuous facial pores and age spots, giving skin a younger, improved appearance after the age of 30.

X-22-6695B
INCI: Jojoba oil (and) lauryl dimethicone/polyglycerin-3 crosspolymer
Suggested Use Levels:  1.5-25%
Applications: Face: illuminators, foundations, blushers, BB/CC cream; Lips: liquid lipstain and creams, lipsticks; Eyes: eyeshadows, mascaras, eyeliners; Brows: brow gels and creams
Comments: X-22-6695B is a PEG-free, high shine, organic compatible, self-emulsifying elastomer gel swollen in jojoba oil.  The product is derived from natural ingredients.
X-22-6695B can be used alone as a sensory enhancer, a thickening agent for oils and emulsions, or as an emulsifier.  The active elastomer gel has an innovative 3-dimethional structure that the silicone polymer network is crosslinked with non-PEG, polyglycerin groups and additionally with grafted alkyl (C12) groups.  The grafted alkyl groups allow the polymer swell in organic carriers and esters. Jojoba oil carrier further expands the compatibility to include more polar oils. 

Like KSG-840, X-22-6695B shares many of the similar features and benefits such as stabilizing high internal phase emulsions with large droplet size, forming quick-water-breaking emulsions to deliver the cream-to-water transforming textures. The high shine nature of X-22-6695B makes it uniquely suitable for high shine lip products both in an anhydrous and an emulsion format. 

Additionally, it’s an ideal ingredient for facial illuminators and eye shadows. The formulated products are rich, moisturizing and with exceptional skin feel. Ambient process is the norm when ingredients do not require heat.  Low energy process is preferred provided there is good mixing; low energy homogenization is acceptable but not necessary.

Applications: Face: facial illuminators, foundations, BB/CC cream; Eyes: eye shadows, mascaras, lipsticks, blushers, pencils; Lips: lipsticks, liquid lipstain, lip creams, pencils; Brows: brow gels and creams; Nails
Comments: TSPL-30-TMF is a 30% siliconized pullulan  film former solubilized in volatile silicone TMF-1.5 (Methyl Trimethicone).  It is a Shin-Etsu Silicone’s patented film former derived from GMO free source. Siliconization of Pullulan polymer renders the polymer water repellent and oil repellent, which are the key elements to achieve anti-transfer benefits for long wear lip applications.  The carrier TMF-1.5 provides fast drying and anti-tackiness during the drying phase.  Silicone moiety further modifies the film flexibility for comfort and non-tacky feel without compromising the adhesion properties.
