Cosmodrome has introduced a polyurethane film-forming agent to address concerns about pigment penetration

Cosco has developed a biodegradable polyurethane film-forming agent that can address Chinese women's concerns about cosmetic pigment seeping into their skin.
, according to Lucy Liu, Cosco's business development manager, Chinese women use less makeup than Korean or Japanese women to 'protect' their skin.
, Ms. Liu explains, "You can look directly around, and women in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou don't get
chinese
." They feel that the pigment in the makeup can seep into the skin or clog pores. They also feel that makeup can be harmful to the skin and can cause acne acne or skin color changes,"
said, according to Liu, micron-level pigment particles can clog the upper skin pores and cause problems such as acne acne.
if the makeup removal is not thorough, it may even lead to skin color changes or uneven skin appearance.
, head of cosmetics at Cosco Ventures, added, "It's a concept with nail polish. If you don't have a base, remove the nail polish and the nails will yellow. To
address this issue,
Cosco has focused on a biodegradable polyurethane film-forming agent, Baycusan®C1004, at this year's Guangzhou Personal care and Home Care Exhibition (PChi).
C1004 as a pre-powder substrate and found that it has an anti-penetration effect. "We used surgical tape that was similar in size to the skin pores," Sum said. Under the tape, we placed paper towels to measure how much foundation can penetrate. Compared to products whose foundation can penetrate four to five layers of paper towels, the foundation does not penetrate so many layers with our products as a base.
Liu added, "We found that some pigments can even penetrate five layers of paper towels, which means that pigments can penetrate the skin up to 0.58 mm." She
further that the team will continue to study the path of skin damage caused by the penetration of makeup pigment.
although the C1004 can form an effective barrier against pigmentation, Sum confirms that the skin does not feel foreign.
addition to pigments, C1004 is also effective for isolating pollution. Films are a barrier against air pollutants, especially for particulate matter smaller than PM2.5.
stressed that finding new ways to advertise the effectiveness of products is becoming increasingly important.
if you look at the film market, which is very traditional and has been unchanged for 40 to 50 years," he said. We hope this technology will help our consumers innovate more, deliver better results, and use the environment and consumers better on a daily basis. "
more opportunities in Asia
another opportunity coscotrone sees in the Asia Pacific region is for many motorcycle riders.
these consumers no longer use hair care products because helmets are required, so hair styling makes no sense.
to solve this challenge, Cosco has developed a polyurethane water-based dispersion, The Baycusan, which can be restyling hair® C1010.
, "Now, if you use hairspray and then use a comb to restyle it, the hair will start." And our products are elastic and non-sticky, so it feels natural. The
also see opportunities in the halal beauty market. The new film-forming agent is vegetarian, but has not yet been halal certified.
Sum said, "We're definitely looking at this direction." Consumers are demanding more and more from us. "
solutions
in addition to creating safe products for consumers, Cosco is also interested in creating environmentally safe film formants.
sum stresses that the solutions available on the market are limited and can be a real pain point for consumers.
high-performance film-forming agents on the market, but not necessarily environmentally friendly. On the other hand, there are natural film-forming agents on the market, and the public thinks these products are better, but they are often not high-performance. Cosco
believes the latest film-forming agent, Baycusan® Eco E1000 (Eco) is the solution to this problem. "It's partly fuel oil and part natural products," Sum said. Sixty per cent of the product's parts come from corn and are renewable sources, so it is sustainable. If you look at the process, this product consumes less energy, so it improves your carbon footprint. "
Eco E1000 is an alternative to manufacturers of natural film-forming agents." Most of the time, they use synthetic products directly, but we can help improve the composition of biological sources while maintaining performance. Sum said.
Sum says it is currently difficult to develop a 100% bio-source film-forming agent, but it is likely to continue to improve the composition of bio-sources.
"It's possible to increase the parts of biological sources by more than 60 percent, but we have to look at market demand." If we implement changes, the product may not remain the same. "
