Product Usage Tips:

  • Liquid Crystal Lipocapsule™ and Liposphere™ products can easily be formulated into a final product at a 1-2% use level.
  • For a more intense change in color, use a dark packaging background.
  • Use an additional Lipocapsule™ with a dark color to reflect the colors of the liquid crystal in the final formulation. This will cut the use level and costs of the liquid crystal Lipocapsule™ and continue to give the unique effect.
  • Avoid the use of strong solvents when using Liquid Crystal Lipocapsules™ .
