Microspheres and Microsphere Complexes
 
  • Spherical particles (1-20 microns average diameter), are made of thermoplastic polymers or silica, and are used in finished formulas to :
    - Scatter the light to reduce the appearance of fine lines ("soft focus effect" or "optical blurring");
    - Improve product feel due to their ball bearing properties, and ability to decrease greasiness and tact;
    - Absorb oil and facial sebum.
  • Microsphere Complexes are powders made by bonding talc or silica to polymeric microspheres using Kobo's patented technology of ITT treatment. These powders have been created to have incredible texture, high oil absorption and bulk density.
