The texture-modifying property is central to the sensory experience of a cosmetic product, involving the alteration or improvement of feel, consistency, and application. The ultrafine particle size of biogrape™ is critical in this regard. When added to cosmetics, these particles impart a smoother, velvety texture, enhancing tactile qualities. This property is relevant in products like face powders, where a finer texture allows for more seamless and natural application. Additionally, biogrape™’s particle size (~P90=20 µm) influences the spreadability of creams and lotions, leading to a more even and effortless application, allowing the product to glide over the skin without clumping. This property affects not only the immediate feel during application but also the afterfeel—how the skin feels post-application. The fatty acid content enhances texture by contributing to a silky, smooth finish and providing additional hydration. The total proteins in biogrape™ improve the product’s structural integrity and consistency, ensuring it remains stable and effective over time. Moreover, the ultrafine particle size can affect the visual appearance of the product on the skin, providing a more natural “second-skin” effect and avoiding a cakey or heavy appearance. Overall, biogrape™ enhances the texture, feel, and appearance of cosmetic products, making them more pleasant to use and more effective in delivering their benefits.
