Adding Captivates™ encapsulates creates striking visual effects that attract consumers, provide visual cues and differentiate formulations in the market.

  color change
When filled with pigments, Captivates™ GL encapsulates can be used as a dynamic color release system. As the product is used, the encapsulates are broken and the colorants are released to give either a surprise color explosion or a timing signal for how long the product should be applied.
