SEARCH HELP:
Select the area of the website you want to search in the drop-down menu next to the search bar: Products, Formulas, Literature or Contacts.
The 'SDS' option allows you to directly find an SDS for a product listed on the website.
Enter one or several keywords: they can be trade names, INCI names, formula names, events at which Kobo presented a paper, names or departments for contacts.
If several keywords are entered, the results will be of Products, Formulas, Literature or Contacts that have all keywords together (AND search). If no results are found with all keywords, the search will present results with either of the keywords (OR search).
Result tables can be sorted by clicking titles in the headers: click once for sorting by ascending order, twice for descending order. All columns can be sorted, including territories.
Depending on area searched, links in the result tables will bring you to Product Description pages, or Products, Formulas, Literature or Contact pages.

Actives And Delivery Systems
Schematic representation of a Glycosphere
Softspheres™ are available with a variety of colors and actives
Phytopresome™, a liposome which promote penetration in the epidermis
Kobo offers a range of actives, available either as ingredients or encapsulated in Delivery Sytems to maximize their efficacy. Our laboratories in Labège, France specialize in the research and development of delivery systems, such as Glycospheres and Softspheres™.
Multifunctional Actives
BioSyn-Bisabolol
is a powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflamatory natural active, produced using sustainable biotechnology method, with high active content (>99%).
AC-HPR
is a new generation, bio-available form of Vitamin A that is easy to formulate in different types of systems. It is non-irritatimg and highly stable. Available in powder form (AC-HPR) or in a 10% active solution in an oil (AC-HPR-S10)
INULIN-SC
is a natural, multi-functional active, with a moisturizing effect on the skin and texture enhancer in formulations.

Hyaluronates
Hyaluronic acid is a natural polysaccharide, widely distributed throughout connective, epithelial, and neural tissues. It is a major component of skin, where it is involved in moisturization and tissue repair.
Hyaoligo® - Low MW, high purity Sodium Hyaluronate, obtained via an enzymatic process. It promotes moisturization deep in the skin and help cell repair.
Hyacharming® - Sodium Hyaluronate dispersed in oil at 30% active. It brings natural moisturization to anhydrous formulas
HA Pro® - Acetylated Sodium Hyaluronat, a super moisturizer and free radical scavenger
HA-Zn - Zinc Hyaluronate. In addition to moisturization, it is a 5alpha-reductase and helps with skin oil control
Treme-HA® - Plant derived, high MW polysaccharide, highly efficient moisturizer and free radical scavenger
Sodium Hyaluronate - Best Natural Moisturizing Active

Phytopresomes™
Liposomal formulations made with Phytopresome™ enhance the penetration of active in the epidermis, increase Stratum Corneum retention, promote sustained release and long-lasting effect and help formulate lipid-soluble actives in water-based formulas.
Phytopresome™ are liposome precursors composed of lecithin, phytosterol and an active, supplied as powder: the liposomal suspension needs to be made before the product is formulated.

Glycospheres
Glycospheres are supramolecular systems, which consists of a stable inner core, made of starch, and lipids layers (fatty acid esters and polar lipids), organized around this core. The small size (200 nanometers) of this spherical system allows a controlled penetration in the first layers of the epidermis.
Both hydrophilic and lipopilic active ingredients can be entrapped in the Glycospheres. Experiments on ascorbic acid, free-radical scavengers, enzymes or antibacterial agents have shown that entrapped actives are more stable than the non-entrapped form, and remain active after entrapment and delivery.
Glycospheres Global
Glycospheres EU & CN
Glycosphere-PCOgS - The anti-aging power of plant polyphenols
Glycosphere-GTS - The benefits of green tea delivered to the skin
Glycosphere-PPYS - Stable Papain for Enzymatic Peeling,Skin Whitening and Hair Revitalization

Softspheres™
Softspheres™ are large spherical (1.00 to 2.80 mm) particles used for the decoration of formulas and the delivery of lipophilic and / or anionic active ingredients. Made of agar-agar, they are soft enough for being crushed on the skin without leaving any residue. To this agar matrix a copolymer, cationic and amphiphilic is added, which is able to trap active material (natural oils, proteins, vitamins, fragrances, …) and colorants within the sphere.
