  • Uniform coverage
  • Long-lasting color fixation
  • Dry feeling reduction
  • Crack effect prevention
  • Wash off and rub off resistance
  • Fast film forming effect due to high volatile carrier

A film flexibility study has been carried out to assess the influence of stretch on the performance and flexibility of two lipsticks, containing classic MQ resin versus BRB Color Lock.

After stretching 1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm, results showed micro-cracking formed on the Color Lock formula fully recovered when the extension is removed.

Severe cracking is observed after a 3 cm stretch on sample A versus micro cracks on sample B. No cracking was seen on sample B after stretching. Cracks remain after extension on A
