Decorative range
Decorative The flawless look is certainly in vogue at the moment. Claims such as pixilate your skin and flawless complexion are more and more prevalent in the high definition world we now live in. We all want to look our best and using decorative cosmetics certainly helps us to do this by hiding blemishes and minor skin imperfections (see Problematic Skin leaflet), dark circles, puffy eyes (see Eye Care leaflet) and by enhancing key features such as the eyes (long, dark lashes/ eyebrow pencils), cheek bones and lips. There is a growing overlap between decorative cosmetics and the skin care sector as seen by the growth of BB, CC creams and so on. More and more foundations are offering anti-wrinkle effects, lipsticks that claim to plump, mascaras to lengthen and build lashes and under eye concealers to reduce puffiness and dark circles. Plus with the ever growing trend of transfer resistant and waterproof make-up, make-up removers really need to work to avoid those panda eyes. To help inspire you, we have summarised some of the actives and ingredients we offer for this area below. Happy reading.
Amisol Soft (INCI: Behenyl Alcohol (and) Glyceryl Stearate (and) Lecithin (and) Glycine Soja (Soybean) Sterols) is an optimised blend of Phospholipids, Phytosterols and vegetable Lipids which forms lamellar O/W emulsions for soft applications.

Amisol Trio also nourishes nails and increases the brightness and shine of lipsticks. Recommended usage level: 0.5-1.5% Biophilic (INCI: BIOPHILIC H: Hydrogenated Lecithin (and) C12-16 Alcohols (and) Palmitic Acid; BIOPHILIC S: Lecithin (and) C12-16 Alcohols (and) Palmitic Acid). A patented natural lamellar O/W system based on the emulsifying properties of Phospholipids combined with other vegetable Lipids.

Recommended use level: 1-5% Melanostatine 5 (INCI: Water (and) Dextran (and) Nonapeptide-1) is an Oligopeptide with a high affinity for MC1-R. Melanostatine 5 is a Biomimetic Peptide antagonist specific of the α-msh (Alpha Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone). As an antagonist, Melanostatine 5 competes against the natural ligand (α-msh) on its specific receptor (MC1-R) by preventing any further activation of the Tyrosinase, and thus blocking Melanin synthesis. Tyrosinase inhibition reduces the formation of unwanted pigmentation allowing for the control over skin tone and brown spots. China compliant. Recommended use level: 4-8% Melitane (INCI: Glycerin (and) Water (and) Dextran (and) Acetyl Hexapeptide-1) is a Peptide agonist of the α-msh (α-melanocyte stimulating hormone).

Melitane stimulates pigmentation and Melanin (natural protection factor) under UV-inducing condition. Melitane represents an ideal complement to the skin s own level of natural Melanin and strengthens the skin s defence. In addition, Melitane makes the skin less sensitive to UV-induced erythema. When used in hair applications, Melitane helps reduce the greying of the hair bulb. Recommended use level: Tanning effect: 0.5-5%; Soothing effect: 1-5%; Protective effect: 1-2.5%; DNA protection and repair: 0.5% Miniporyl TM (INCI: Isopentyldiol, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract) extracted from Red Clover Extract and titrated in Biochanin A to purify and rebalance skin. The enlargement of pores is caused by Corneocytes retaining their nucleus. This leads to abnormal desquamation and accumulation of cell debris, which cause pores to clog. As a result skin loses tonicity and firmness. These effects are further worsened by sun, tobacco, food, bad cleansing etc. Miniporyl TM improves Keratinocyte differentiation to obtain nucleusfree Corneocytes as well as inhibiting 5α-reductase activity to decrease sebum production. Overall the size and appearance of pores is reduced for flawless skin! Recommended usage: Preventative face care: 0.5 1.0% Intensive face care: 1.0 2.0% MultiSal Lip Vintage (MS LV) (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Lauryl Laurate, Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Ethyl Methane Carboximide, Menthyl Lactate, Caffeine, Hydrated Silica, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate). MultiSal Lip Vintage (MS LV) plumps lips and reduces the appearance of fine lines in the lips within 1-3 minutes. The MultiSal technology is a doublelayered encapsulation system composed of a microsphere containing sub-micron spheres. The sub-micron spheres contain a blend of sensory and active ingredients that provide a tingling sensation to lip surface.

MS LV is compatible with both solid and liquid forms of lip care products. Recommended inclusion level: 3.0-5.0% MultiSal Flavor (MS FL) (INCI: Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, Flavor, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Hydrated Silica, Beeswax, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate).

MultiSal Menthol 30 (Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Menthol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax, Hydrated Silica). MultiSal Menthol is specifically designed for anhydrous applications that require a higher temperature in processing, for instance soap bars or solid AP sticks. Menthol evaporates at typical processing temperatures (around 80 C).The consequences of this are twofold: 1. Menthol vapor is irritating to eyes and lungs, thus filling the production environment with it is unsafe; 2. Menthol is lost, either reducing the concentration in the final product, or making it necessary to use more to make it the right concentration. MultiSal Menthol protects the active from evaporation, even under elevated temperatures (up to 160 C). Additionally menthol has a natural, medicinal odor that may be undesirable for certain applications. MultiSal Menthol reduces the unpleasant menthol odor making it more satisfying to the consumer. Suitable for anhydrous applications such as lotions, body powders, foot care, lip care, analgesics, soap bars, and deodorant sticks.

Retinol has been utilised extensively as an anti-wrinkle therapy. The molecule acts by inducing glycosaminoglycan and collagen synthesis, rejuvenating the firmness and youthful appearance of skin. A challenge regarding the use of Retinol is its susceptibility to oxidation, which ultimately reduces the potency and limits effectiveness. Due to its ability to enhance skin turnover, Retinol can cause irritation on consumers with sensitive skin. MultiSal technology is based on double-layered encapsulation of retinol. The microsphere ruptures when the lotion is rubbed into the skin, releasing the sub-micron spheres inside. The core is comprised of botanical lipophilic ingredients that partition into the skin, thus modulating the slow release of the encapsulated retinol over time. MultiSal Retinol reduces the appearance of fine lines in as little as 2 weeks. MultiSal Retinol is recommended for use in anti-aging and skin rejuvenation products including lotions, creams, lip care and cosmetics as well as anti-acne. Recommended use level: 1-2% MultiSal Sebum Control (Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Hydrated Silicam, Acrylates Copolymer, Sodium Hydroxide, Zinc Sulfate, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Lauryl Laurate).

Ideal for skin care applications such as lotions, body powders, acne spot treatments, and facial wipes. Recommended use level: 3-5% MultiSal Vitamin C (MS VC) (INCI: Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Ascorbic Acid, Hydrated Silica, Synthetic Beeswax, Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax) - MultiSal Vitamin C (MS VC) is a double-layered encapsulation system composed of submicron spheres designed to rejuvenate skin. The submicron spheres contain the Vitamin C for a triggered release. MultiSal technology is designed to enhance absorption and deliver the Vitamin C directly to the skin, where it will be the most effective. Recommended inclusion level: Lip care: 3.0%; Skin care: 1.0-5.0% MultiSal Vitamins C & E (MS C&E) (INCI: Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydrated Silica, Beeswax) - Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) is considered an anti-ageing powerhouse by skincare experts. It reduces wrinkles and fades dark spots to create younger-looking skin. Vitamin C also slows the damage caused by free radicals, which increase the development of wrinkles, fine lines, dryness, and damage. Vitamin E is also known for blocking free radicals from the body, resulting in less wrinkles. MultiSal Vitamins C & E (MS C&E) takes these two well-known antioxidants and puts them to work to repair skin damage, maintain healthy collagen, and speed up the skin s natural repair systems. MS C&E can be used in a wide variety of products, such as body powders, facial sticks, makeup, and more. Recommended inclusion level: 10% MultiSal (Cotton Fresh) Fragrance (MS FR) (INCI: Sodium Starch Octenylsuccinate, Cotton Fresh Fragrance, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter) Extract, Lauryl Laurate, Hydrated Silica).
