Unispheres® are cellulose-based visualisation beads that disperse easily into water-based formulas to provide a clear, eye-catching visual signature that quickly softens and disappears on the skin without residue, while leaving the underlying texture unchanged. Built on a minimalist chassis of water, mannitol and microcrystalline cellulose, they offer high stability, easy handling and long shelf life in dry form, and are compatible with a broad pH range and most skin, hair, oral care and even home care formats containing at least 30% water. Microplastic-free, biodegradable and vegan, Unispheres® align with clean beauty expectations while acting as emotional and perception amplifiers: consumer studies show that formulas containing these beads are perceived as more premium, more effective and more desirable, with higher product liking and purchase intent compared with identical formulas without visuals. In addition, selected references can be loaded with lipophilic “hero” ingredients or pigments, allowing formulators to make the invisible story of their active ingredients visible in a controlled, sensorial way.
