Orgasol® for Cosmetics


 

Orgasol® are ultrafine polyamide powders produced by polymerising lauryl and caprolactam, using an unique patented process. The process produces a full range of powders with particles from 5 to 20 µm without grinding. Each grade of Orgasol® powders contains spherical particles, microporous, with a very narrow particle size distribution. Each grade is fine-tuned to reach high level of requirements of cosmetic producers. 

The Polyamide 12 Orgasol® range has great affinity for the skin, offering  long lasting powder make-up. In addition to that, the intrinsic lubricity of Polyamide 12 combined with the spheroidal particles leaves behind a velvety feel. The Polyamide 12 Orgasol® range offers a large product choices based on oil absorption, application feel and finish.

Orgasol® Caresse has the right balance of hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties to allow easy dispersion in water-continuous formulations while maintaining the velvety feel of Polyamide 12. Orgasol® Caresse is the perfect product for skin care.
