Product Overview

• The essence of color cosmetic formulations is complex as they aim to beautify individuals while enabling them to express their personality and mood of the day. As one size does not fit all, make-up products exist in a variety of textures, colors and product forms. Sorting through the emollient choices to find the perfect ingredient can be challenging.
• To help make the selection process easier, Lubrizol has regrouped information and performance data on the most suitable esters for color cosmetic formulations. Formulators can use this information to select the right solution to provide desired esthetics and performance in make-up, with excellent sensory and comfortable wear for a pleasurable experience.
