SENSOCEL®+

hydrophobic cellulose

The secret of flawless skin

SENSOCEL®+ are ultra-fine hydrophobic cellulose powders obtained during a special production process. Due to the hydrophobisation, SENSOCEL®+ brings an exclusive skin feel to skin care products and colour cosmetics. Thereby SENSOCEL®+ convinces with an extraordinary soft-focus effect without a major impact on the viscosity of the formulation. SENSOCEL®+ is able to imitate the skin feel and texture of synthetic powders like PMMA, PE or Nylon on a 100% natural basis. Unlike microplastic powders, SENSOCEL®+ is 100% biodegradable under fresh water conditions (according to ISO 14851) and therefore harmless to human and nature.

Why use microplastic powders, when it is also possible to formulate “green”?

Innovation: SENSOCEL®+ hydrophobic cellulose – natural ingredients for sophisticated skin care

  • eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to synthetic powders
  • plant based imitation of the character of PMMA and Nylon
  • light textures and an exclusive skin feel in O/W and W/O
  • considerable soft-focus effect for an even teint
  • soft, velvet skin feel without silicone oils
  • matte effect & excellent sensory profile in colour cosmetics

SENSOCEL®+ hydrophobic cellulose is a novelty under the well-known sensory additives and can be used in almost every cosmetic product.SENSOCEL®+ hydrophobic cellulose creates an ultra-smooth, powdery-soft skin feel and leads to pleasantly light textures without significant increase in viscosity. The micro-fine powders enable a strong soft-focus effect for modern anti-aging care.

Technological properties of SENSOCEL®+
