Covabead PMMA 2MUSI 5 g

Covabead PMMA 2 MUSI - a component for improving the sensory and optical properties of natural cosmetics

Covabead PMMA 2 MUSI is known to each other simply as "musya". Such a gentle name of the component fully corresponds to its cosmetic properties, which consist in improving the sensory characteristics of cosmetics, giving it a special softness and `sliding` on the skin, absorbing excess sebum, as well as a special distribution of light on the skin, thereby hiding visible imperfections.

Characteristics of the component and features of use

INCI: Silica, Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer

CAS №: 7631-86-9, 25777-71-3

Dosage: 0,5 - 10 % Solubility: insoluble in water and oil;

Solubility: insoluble in water and oil; dispersed in base or mixed with dry ingredients in mineral cosmetics.

Storage: in a dry dark place in a tightly closed package at a temperature up to 25˚C.

Cosmetic properties of the component

Covabead PMMA 2 MUSI are spherical micronised polymethacrylate particles that are coated with silicon dioxide. These fine particles are capable of filling wrinkles and concealing skin imperfections. They have a high ability to scatter light (soft focus), which determines the `photoshop' effect of the application of this ingredient.

Effect of the ingredient

A wide range of cosmetic properties allow a significant improvement in the texture of the cosmetic product:

• Absorbent: the active is able to absorb sweat and sebum, giving the skin a matte finish and improving the absorption of cosmetics.
• Volumizing: gives the finished formulation a more voluminous appearance
• Velvety and soft: imparts pleasant sensory properties to cosmetics when applied to the skin, a kind of "powdery" effect and the softness of cotton.
• perfect glide: imparts to the cosmetics a smooth glide and spreadability, eliminating the feeling of stickiness.

 
The optical effect mentioned above is reflected in the following benefits

• Matting effect: reduces the shine of oily skin
• Soft-focus effect: reduces the appearance of fine lines and skin imperfections
• does not reduce color intensity: the addition of Covabead does not remove the pigment saturation of mineral cosmetics
• Transparency: high translucency, low opacity
• Brightening effect: the special light-reflecting property gives the skin a fresh and radiant effect.

Ingredient applications in cosmetic formulations

When creating natural cosmetics with our own hands, we are guided by the rule "oil + emulsifier + active ingredients", without paying attention to functional fillers, thanks to which industrial manufacturers give luxurious sensory characteristics to cosmetics. Such cosmetics cause a "wow" effect during application, and immediately after application - a feeling of satisfaction with the cream.

This is exactly the effect that Covabead PMMA 2 MUSI helps to achieve. The manufacturer recommends its use in the following formulations and dosages

Skin care: 0.1 - 5%.
Sunscreen cosmetics: 0.1 - 5%
Hair cosmetics: 0.5 - 4%
Decorative cosmetics: up to 10% in mineral powders and nail polish, up to 0.5% in lipsticks.
