SpS-BkFEB41a / SpS-BkFEB41b / SpS-BkFEB41m

Softspheres are a delivery system consisting of soft beads containing active ingredients that can be crushed on the skin. SpS-BkFEB41a/b/m are metallic grey beads.

Softspheres are a delivery system consisting of soft beads that can contain active ingredients. The beads provide a visual impact in formulations and can be crushed on the skin to release active ingredients. Softspheres are made from a combination of Agar (a natural polysaccharide extracted from algae) and a copolymer. In plain Agar beads, the mesh size of the matrix is too large to trap active molecules. In Softspheres, the mixed Agar/copolymer matrix traps active molecules by means of ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactions with the copolymer. Softspheres are recommended for use in transparent gels, shower gels and shampoos, emulsions, soap, tooth paste, etc.

Softspheres are available in three sizes: "a" grades have an average size of 2.20-2.80 mm, "b" grades have an average size of 1.60-2.20 mm, and "m" grades have an average size of 1.00-1.60 mm.

SpS-BkFEB41a, SpS-BkFEB41b and SpS-BkFEB41m are metallic grey beads.
