Skin Care: Eco Drop by ADEKA

These Multifunctional single dose Eco Drop are innovative dehydrated gel beads that can be used to make serums and lotions when added to an aqueous solution. This particular texture allows to save water as this is the consumer himself who adds the water when he needs to use the formulation. To get a final product with the requested properties, the preservative and the actives are added at a high percentage and they will migrate into the aqueous phase by the principle of diffusion. The little beads will get bigger and softer so that they can also be used directly on the skin without any residue, thus allowing to use the formula entirely. It features: HALORUBIN™: which is a COSMOS approved natural antioxidant with high efficacy. It defends against the harmful effects of blue light and environmental stress. A formulation by ADEKA.
