ALTER-CAPTESSENCE

THE POWDER THAT CAPTURES AND RETENTIONS FRAGRANCES
ALTER-CAPTESSENCE is an adsorbent powder capable of capturing up to 20% fragrance concentrate without the risk of clogging. An alcohol-free alternative to silica, it uses its powdery structure to absorb fragrances and formulate anhydrous perfumes or scented skincare products.

Made from Breton kaolin and micronized bamboo powder, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE combines natural ingredients with high performance, opening up new possibilities for scented cosmetic formulations such as scented powder perfumes, scented loose powder, and scented dry shampoos…

A POWDER THAT RISE TO THE STATUS OF A PERFUME THANKS TO ITS ABSORBENT POWER (20%)
In the cosmetics industry, formulating scented products requires a delicate balance between fragrance concentration, texture, and stability.
Traditionally, alcohol is used as the primary solvent to dilute fragrance concentrates. With our ALTER-CAPTESSENCE ingredient, we offer a natural and innovative solution that achieves the fragrance concentration level of a “perfume.”

AN ALCOHOL-FREE ADSORBENT POWDER AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO SILICA
ALTER-CAPTESSENCE is a true alternative to silica and ethanol. With its fine, lightweight texture, it guarantees a soft feel on the skin. This powder stands out for its fluidity, preventing the caking often seen with other powders, and opens up new formulation possibilities, particularly for makeup applications.

ALTER-CAPTESSENCE: COSMETIC APPLICATIONS
ALTER-CAPTESSENCE is an adsorbent powder that offers great flexibility in anhydrous fragranced cosmetic formulations. Thanks to its ability to capture and absorb up to 20% of fragrance concentrate while providing a soft feel on the skin, it opens up new possibilities for cosmetic formulations where fragrance adsorption and longevity are essential.

• Fragrance: Ideal for powdered fragrance formulations. Capable of absorbing up to 20% fragrance concentrate, it can function as a true fragrance.
• For hair: When used in a dry shampoo, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE provides a light, airy texture while releasing a pleasant, long-lasting fragrance
• Makeup: Used in scented loose powders and other water-free makeup products, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE provides a pleasant fragrance while mattifying the skin. The powder retains a light, airy texture that is easy to apply, without clumping or feeling heavy.
• Skincare: ALTER-CAPTESSENCE absorbs fragrances without altering the texture of water-free skincare products; the fragrance is released upon application, providing a purifying and relaxing skincare experience.

NATURAL INGREDIENTS AT THE HEART OF ALTER-CAPTESSENCE
ALTER-CAPTESSENCE derives its effectiveness from the quality of its carefully selected ingredients. Composed of Breton kaolin and micronized bamboo powder, this natural synergy offers exceptional performance in capturing and diffusing fragrances while providing cosmetic benefits such as a matte finish, lightness, and a soft-to-the-touch texture.

TWO GRADES AVAILABLE: IONIZED OR HEAT-TREATED TO MEET SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS
To meet the needs of formulators seeking performance and safety, ALTER-CAPTESSENCE is available in two distinct grades: ionized and thermized. These two sterilization processes
are designed to ensure the ingredient’s microbiological purity while preserving its adsorbent properties and fine texture.

• The Ionized Grade:
  Sterilized by ionization, this grade ensures optimal reduction of microbial load while preserving the ingredient’s structural integrity and performance. The ionization method is particularly well-suited for formulations requiring strict microbiological safety, without compromising the product’s cosmetic properties.
• Thermized grade:
  This grade is produced through a controlled heat treatment process, ensuring high purity while remaining natural and environmentally friendly. The thermization process is valued for its respect for natural ingredients and integrates seamlessly into formulations with natural or organic claims.
