●CosChrom (Liquid crystal)

Product Description


This product is a cholesteric liquid crystal material designed by precisely blending multiple cholesterol derivatives. Each component cooperates to form a helical structure and exhibits selective reflectivity. This reflects and polarizes light of specific wavelengths, imparting a visual effect in which the color tone and luster change depending on the viewing angle and temperature. The cholesteric structure also has excellent UV and near-infrared reflectivity, making it applicable to functional skin care and sun care products.

Main features:
・ Visual effect due to light interference: When viewed from an angle, it exhibits a rainbow or pearl-like polarizing effect
・Thermosensitivity (thermochromism): The reflected wavelength changes with temperature, making it possible to design a formulation that changes color
・High refractive index and luster: Adds a natural luster and depth to makeup products
・ Tuning by liquid crystal blending: Hue and reflected wavelength can be freely designed by adjusting the blend ratio
・UV and infrared reflectivity: Also effective as an auxiliary reflective barrier material in UV-cut products
