The art of structure: designing sensorial experiences with the CalyCare™ range

Synopsis

Structure plays a defining role in how cosmetic products are experienced, even when it remains unseen.

This workshop explores the art of structure through the CalyCare™ range from Calyxia, based on biodegradable microsphere technology, delivering unique sensorial qualities and performance in modern beauty concepts.

Rather than focusing on specific product categories or fixed formulations, the concept is organised around three experiential pillars that reflect how textures are perceived over time. Touch addresses immediate sensations such as feel, glide, pickup and fragrance release.

Comfort focuses on skin perception, flexibility and barrier feel as the product settles on the skin. Performance highlights how structure contributes to film formation, wear, longevity and protection.

Through different expressions within the CalyCare™ range, oil‑phase gelling solutions with extraordinary sensory‑enhancing properties and film‑forming technologies are presented as formulation tools to support sensorial design from ritual and care to visible performance.

By centring the discussion on formulation architecture rather than applications, this session invites formulators to rethink structure as a creative lever for sensorial innovation.
