Natural Origin Products

This natural, hybrid treatment renders powders hydrophobic and superdispersible. ASGP-treated powders require minimal energy during the grinding phase, and disperse easily with a quick and uniform color development. They give a creamy feel on the skin, promote better wear and aid in pressing powders.

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

Natural Treatment, using Hydrogenated Olive Oil Stearyl Esters to make pigments and powders hydrophobic. It is a stable treatment, with low odor. It imparts color, coverage and spreadability to formulas. In pressed powders, it adds pressability to the cake: powders can be pressed without additional binders.

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 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.

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.

This natural, Non-GMO Hydrogenated Lecithin treatment, is Hydrophobic yet moisturizing. It provides a highly creamy feel and good affinity to the skin. The recommended applications are Emulsions, hot pours, powders, anhydrous gels.

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.

Microspheres are also available with surface treatments, which help with adding them to oil phases in formulas and enhance skin feel, adhesion and blendability.

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.

SunBoost Natural series are blends skin conditioners and soothers at a proprietary ratio.. When used in sunscreens in combination with organic and/or inorganic UV Filters, SunBoost 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 attenuate IR-A. These materials are offered with a variety of surface treatments.
