Darmstadt, (Germany) – With RonaFlair® LDP White, Merck KGaA has successfully developed a transparent filler for instant soft focus effects, which for the first time can also be proven. Owing to its sophisticated light diffusion properties, RonaFlair® LDP White visibly reduces wrinkles and makes the skin look smoother without creating a mask-like appearance. The functional filler instantly minimizes the visibility of small wrinkles and skin imperfections. At the same time, it is sufficiently transparent so that the skin remains natural-looking. With this transparent filler that offers anti-aging effects, Merck is expanding its position as one of the leading manufacturers of cosmetic ingredients.
The secret of a porcelain-like complexion
RonaFlair® LDP White is based on white ceramic microspheres that are coated with silica and titanium dioxide. Thanks to the substrate structure and the sophisticated coating technology this functional filler perfectly rolls into wrinkles and uneven areas of the skin. It diffuses the incident light, thereby creating the desired soft focus effect and making wrinkles and unevenness virtually invisible. The result: an instant anti-aging effect. In addition, RonaFlair® LDP White produces an exceptional ball-bearing effect on the skin. The spherical substrate leads to a perceptibly soft and smooth skin feel and reduces undesirable shine.
A high-quality and multifaceted filler
The transparent filler RonaFlair® LDP White is very stable to light and heat and can be used in all cosmetic formulations without restriction. Its pure white powder color makes it particularly suitable for white creams and lotions as well as for anti-wrinkle creams, foundations, loose and compact powders.
A patented method for proving soft focus effects
The term “soft focus effect” has been gaining in importance within the cosmetics industry. However, it has so far been difficult to objectively demonstrate the soft focus effect. Merck has therefore developed a patented method that measures the soft focus effect in raw materials and can be used to objectively compare these raw materials with each other. Cosmetic manufacturers can use this measurement method to identify the ideal fillers for their specific applications.
