BASF’s Beauty Creations has developed Ultra Filling Spheres, what BASF describe as the ultimate next generation Filling Spheres, with increased technical performance for improved skin benefits.
Ultra Filling Spheres is a new and better performing version of Filling Spheres – Beauty Creations‘ concept in wrinkle filling – which has been specially designed to instantly fill in wrinkles and fine lines in a more efficient manner. Ultra Filling Spheres’ underlying system is based on the ability of cross-linked and dehydrated spheres to penetrate the upper layers of the epidermis and to absorb the water that evaporates from the deep dermis. This next generation Filling Spheres is composed of two biopolymers: hyaluronic acid of low molecular weight (<40 kDa) and konjac, a polysaccharide of high molecular weight (>200 kDa) with superior hygroscopic properties. Cross-linking of both components forms small spheres which after drying, are transformed into Ultra Filling Spheres. Thanks to their high hygroscopic properties, the volume of the spheres increases rapidly in the presence of the skin’s water reserve, and work as plumping the skin from inside out.
