In response to growing consumer demand for products enhancing wellness, Clariant presents Quiospheres, a joint development with Lipotec. For textile manufacturers and brands, Quiospheres offers a new high strength, high performance effect in cosmetotextiles, according to the company. It uses cosmetic expertise from Lipotec (active ingredients and microencapsulation) and Clariant’s high-tech textile technology, which provides the key to creating the long-lasting effect on the fabric.
“Quiospheres is a major breakthrough in the area of cosmetotextiles,” says Juan Carlos Escudero, CEO of Lipotec. “Clariant has been our partner in this innovation. We have combined our cosmetic expertise with their textile technology, both recognized worldwide, to create a product that provides cosmetic wellness effects without effort on the part of the end user. It’s a win-win development for textile manufacturers and brands. Quiospheres creates almost limitless opportunities for added value textile products.”
Textile manufacturers and brands have a choice of two effects: Quiospheres Moist, (containing Antarcticine and Xpermoist), which provides hydrating and moisturizing properties; and Quiospheres Slim (containing Liporeductyland Relistase), which offers firmness and elasticity.
The cosmetic effects on the skin are obtained through a unique two-step technology. The first step is the “transphere" of the microcapsules from the textile onto the skin. This is achieved thanks to the special design of Quiospheres, which confers them a high affinity for the skin.
The second step is the gradual release and “transphere” of the cosmetic ingredients into the skin. This is as a result of the interaction of the microcapsule shell components with our natural skin enzymes. Only when the garment is worn and comes into contact with the skin does the release of the cosmetic ingredient begin. The longer they are worn, the better the feeling of wellness.
