Omya Cosmospheres

Omya Cosmospheres are innovative cellulose beads designed for a variety of hygiene products, including sanitizers, shower gels, mouthwashes, and toothpastes. They are also ideal for skincare formulations such as lotions, creams, and foundations.

Omya Cosmospheres are made of natural and biodegradable ingredients and supplied as hard, solid beads composed of microcrystalline cellulose and lactose or mannitol (vegan). 

When added to a water-based formulation, the beads swell, creating a sensorial experience to, for example, create active claim visualization. When applied, they disintegrate while being rubbed on skin or teeth, without leaving any residue. 

Omya Cosmospheres can be customized by composition, color and size. Manufactured in Switzerland under the highest production quality standards, they offer an eye-catching experience and can be used in combination with an extensive range of ingredients:

  • Liquid or powdered ingredients
  •  Color dyes, inorganic or effect pigments 
  • Sensory agents (for cooling or warming effects, etc.)
  • Vitamins 
  • Essential and moisturizing oils
  • Oil soluble actives and extracts
  • Plant extracts
