| Treated Pigments & Powders |
| Powders and pigments may be modified to make their surface water repellent (hydrophobic), oil dispersible (lipophilic), both lipophobic and hydrophobic (perfluoro treatments), or hydrophilic. Other objectives of surface treating are to reduce surface activity, improve skin compatibility, physical or chemical stability and enhance pigment loading in formulas. |

| Carnauba Wax Treatment (CW) |
| This Carnauba Wax treatment gives coated pigments a creamy feel and good adhesion to the skin. This hydrophobic treatment is very beneficial in the use of powders and will improve pressability. |

| Jojoba Ester Treatment (NJE) |
| Kobo's patent pending process enables pigment particles to be rendered
hydrophobic with this treatment. This treatment offers a creamy feel and good
affinity to the skin. Due to their good pressabilty these products are
recommended for use in powders, as well as emulsions and hot pours.

| Crosspolymer Treatments (TTB) |
| These new, patented treatments combine ITT and Dimethicone (ITT/Dimethicone)
to form a crosspolymer at the surface of the pigment, making them "super-dispersible" in esters,
silicones and hydrocarbons. Treated pigments and powders have excellent hydrophobicity, stability over a wide range of pH and a better affinity for the skin than common silicone coatings. Crosspolymer Treatment - TTB Flyer |

| ITT Treatment (I) |
| Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate (ITT) surface treatment is one of Kobo's patented
technologies. ITT treated pigments and powders can easily be dispersed in many esters,
mineral oils or hydrocarbons at over 80% solids. ITT treated pigments and powders are used to develop dry feeling cream-to-powder formulas or liquid foundations, cheek color, eye shadow and sunscreen formulations. They also have excellent affinity to the skin. ITT treatment is patented and approved for use globally. Titanate Treatment Flyer |

| Silane Treatment (11S) |
| Triethoxy Caprylylsilane treated pigments and powders are easy to disperse
in esters, mineral oils and silicone fluids, and higher pigment loading can be achieved as
compared to methicone
treated pigments. They also have zero hydrogen potential and no residual methanol.

| Perfluoroalcohol Phosphate Treatment (PF) |
| PF treated pigments and powders show both water and oil repellency. With them
in formulations, it is possible to achieve long lasting make-up resilient to perspiration and sebum,
promoting a more natural appearance.
