MICAPOLY® UV is a range of composite materials based on muscovite mica and physical UV-filters. Micapoly® UV Crystals are platelet shaped particles with a mica matrix and a double layer of nanofine Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide, which are sealed on the mica surfaces with a polymer. As Micapoly® UV Crystals are platelet shaped, they adhere well on the skin and provide long lasting UV-protection. The particle size of Micapoly® UV Crystals is around 20 microns.

MICAPOLY® is a range of surface treated mica powders. Micapolys are suitable for all loose and pressed powder applications, in which they function as texturizers and fillers. They also have an anti-caking effect. Micapolys are available in a wide range of surface treatments so they allow to formulate products with various functionalities. Due to the selection of surface treatments, Micapolys complement our Colourmat® colors. Micapolys have good skin adherence as they are platelet shaped particles.

Creaspheres® DIM WL 6 is a product based on Polymethylsilsesquioxane, which is a spherical powder providing silicone-type skin feel. It brings wrinkle filling benefits into emulsions and creates a smoother appearance on the skin. Due to the spherical structure it is ideal for soft focus effect products and it improves the application qualities and feel of the formulation.

Creagel® Crystal LA is based on Meadowfoam Seed Oil and it offers the cosmetic benefits of Meadowfoam Seed Oil but with a more viscous texture. Creagel® Crystals are thickened lipids, which have been produced from oils by a polymerization process.

BERRIES native to Finland are an es- sential part of Finnish culture and cuisine, and have been for hundreds of years. Wild Berries are picked in forests and they have been used throughout the ages for nutrition, medicine, decoration and dyeing. The growing conditions for wild Berries in Finland are among the best in the world, due to a favorable climate, soil and good air quality, as well as the vast and versatile forests. Thanks to sunny summers and the Golf Stream, which brings warm air to Northern Europe, there are optimal growing conditions for wild Berries in Finland and other Nordic countries. According to studies, the ample light and coolness of the Nordic summers allow dif- ferent aromas, sugars and antioxidants to develop in Berries, making them tastier and healthier.

OLIGOLIDES® is a range of “bio-transformed trace elements” obtained from metallic Copper, Zinc and Manganese by baker’s yeast, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae, as intermediate to link them to peptides. Trace elements are metallic and non- metallic minerals found in the human body in traces, or very small quantities – a few grams per several dozen kilos. Trace elements are the main factors to produce important enzymes; for instance from 70 to 100 enzymes in the human body are reported require zinc. Generally, trace elements utilized by skin cells, origin from the food we eat and are bio transformed to organic form in our digestion channel. In Oligolides® the trace elements are linked to bio-peptides and hence can be recognized by the skin cells. As Oligolides® are complexed with amino acids, also called peptides, they easily diffuse to skin cells and are directly bio-disposable to the skin. The baker’s yeast presents an enormous advantage of not being a pathogen and to be- long to the environmental flora of our civilisation for over 2000 generations already. It has been used safely as food ingredient, and hence it can be benefit in cosmetics, as well.
