Natural Origin Products

This treatment is an Amino Acid coating and offers hydrophobic properties. It gives a great creamy feel, especially in powders.

This Silica Treatment is hydrophilic therefore pigments with this treatment applied will disperse well in water. SIH treated pigments and powders demonstrate brighter colors and less surface activity. All of the Iron Oxides are Ecocert approved.

Kobo's patented 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.

This is a Natural, Vegetable-derived, Magnesium Myristate Treatment. It has Hydrophobic and Lipophilic properties, is almost odorless. It provides a creamy texture, excellent pressability and good adherence to the skin. It is recommended for use in hot pours and powders.

Pigmentary grades of Iron Oxides or Titanium Dioxide are dispersed for full color development and ease of use.

Due to their optical blurring properties these naturally derived spherical powders will diminish the look of fine lines on the skin while enhancing the feel of your product. These products range in oil absorption properties. Higher Oil absorbing microspheres can contribute to oil control on the skin.

These hydrophilic spheres can help retain moisture on the skin while providing cushion in your formula. They will swell in the presence of water and oil while absorbing 1.5grams of water and 0.7g oil to every 1g of material.

This Hydrogenated Lecithin treatment offers a creamy texture, moisturizing feel and excellent affinity to the skin. It is hydrophobic, ideal for use in powders and mineral makeup, and can also be used in emulsions.

KoboBlur™ 100 Natural is a powder complex made only of minerals and natural ingredients, using no plastic particles; the ingredients of this complex have complimentary refractive indexes and scatter light in a wide range of formulas.

TiO2 & ZnO Dispersions with natural surface treatments, dispersed in a natural vehicle, Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil, Ethyl Macadamiate or Sunflower Oil.

TiO2 & ZnO Powders where the particles are greater than 100nm when measured by generally accepted methods, image analysis and/or light scattering sizing.

SunBoost ATB Natural is a blend of 3 skin conditioners and soothers at a proprietary ratio.. When used in sunscreens in combination with organic and/or inorganic UV Filters, SunBoost ATB Natural shows an increase in SPF and PFA scores by more than 30%.

Infrared radiations, in particular near infrared (IR-A), have the ability to penetrate deep into the dermis. Recent studies have shown they generate free radicals and produce other harmful biological effects to the skin resulting in aging and wrinkles.
Kobo has screened numerous particulate materials and selected two large size titanium dioxide which showed a great capacity to block IR-A. These materials are offered with a variety of surface treatments.

CHARCOAL POWDER: Absorbing Charcoal Powder, obtained from the carbonization of Ubame Oak.

MAKIBASE SEB is a vegetable-based, PEG-free, W/O emulsifier, which provides light and silky-smooth non-greasy feel. It is also good for cold process.

Plandool™ are plant derived esters, with a range of melting points, consistencies and refractive indexes. They provide moisture retention to skin care, make-up and hair care products, add gloss and have high pigment dispersion ability.

Cellulose Fibers for use in mascara in order to provide lengthening.
Silk Cotton Fibers for oil absorption, water repellency and excellent soft focus effect.

Fine powders of plant or mineral origin.

Exilva is a natural, cellulose-based performance enhancer, with a unique 3D microfibrillar structure, ideal to increase the viscosity and stability of formulas.

Natural spherical beads that are used primarily for exfoliation.

MAKIGREEN LCS+ is an optimized combination of vegetable-origin surfactants used to solubilize many different oils in water.

BLACK NF is a fine black iron oxide powder. It’s unique crystal structure gives a more intense, blue-black color compared to other iron oxides.
