INCI: Nylon-6/12

The "Velvet" Standard

Orgasol® 4000 EXD NAT COS CARESSE: A microporous spherical powder engineered for extreme softness, high adhesion, and sebum control.

10 µm Particle Microporous Preservative Free
The Science

Molecular Bio-Mimicry

Why Nylon 6/12?

Orgasol® Caresse is not just plastic beads. It is a Polyamide 6/12 copolymer, uniquely balanced to mimic the skin's own structure.

🧬
Lipophilic Chains (The "6" part)
Long fatty chains ensure compatibility with skin lipids and cosmetic oils.
💧
Hydrophilic Amides (The "12" part)
Amide groups (NH-CO) create Hydrogen Bonds with skin proteins (Keratin).

Microporous "Sponge" Structure

Internal Porosity
Oil Trap
Soft Touch

Unlike smooth PMMA beads, the "Sponge" structure provides internal oil absorption and superior anchorage.

The Adhesion Factor

Why Orgasol® stays on for 8+ hours while competitors fade.

Winner

Orgasol® Caresse

  • ✓
    Chemical Adhesion (H-Bonding) Acts like "Velcro" on the skin surface due to Amide groups.
  • ✓
    Lipophilic (Oil Loving) Absorbs sebum internally without stripping skin moisture.
  • ✓
    Result: "Living Matte" Natural, healthy look that lasts all day.

Standard Silica

  • ✕
    Physical Adhesion Only Relies on friction. Easily rubbed off or transferred to clothes.
  • ✕
    Hygroscopic (Water Loving) Aggressively absorbs moisture from the air and skin.
  • ✕
    Result: "Dry Matte" Can feel tight, chalky, or uncomfortable over time.

Clinical Efficacy

Proven results in Cream-gel with 3.5% Orgasol®

Sebum & Shine Reduction

Anti-Wrinkle Mechanism

Optical Blurring

The "10 Micron" Advantage:

Particles fill the wrinkles. Because of their spherical shape and refractive index, they scatter light in all directions (Soft Focus), making wrinkles visually disappear without looking "masked".

Sales Champion Cheat Sheet

Elevator Pitch

"Orgasol Caresse is a 10-micron micro-sponge. It provides a luxury velvet feel, absorbs 90% of its weight in oil, and bonds to the skin for 8-hour wear—something standard Silica or PMMA simply cannot do."

Objection: Price

Client: "It's expensive compared to Silica."

Response:

"Silica dries out the skin and falls off. Orgasol acts as a co-emulsifier, improves stability, and provides moisture-respecting oil control. You are buying 3 ingredients in 1."

Secret Weapon
High Silicone Stability

Tell the chemist: "Did you know 3% of Caresse can stabilize up to 40% silicone in an emulsion? It reduces your reliance on heavy emulsifiers."
