Why use treated inorganic pigments in cosmetics? For optimum performance and stability
In our catalog, we offer a wide range of treated inorganic pigments to meet all your cosmetic formulation needs. The use of these pigments offers several advantages: improved performance, stability and compatibility with different ingredients.
Why choose treated pigments?
- Improved dispersibility
Treated pigments disperse more easily, providing even color and better opacity, even in oil-based formulas. - Skin Sensation
They provide a soft, pleasant texture, ideal for foundations, lipsticks and powders. - Water and oil resistance
Silicone-treated pigments are hydrophobic and oleophobic, perfect for long-lasting and waterproof products. - Improved longevity
Treated pigments form a protective layer that resists humidity, heat and sebum. - Maximum compatibility
These pigments integrate easily into a variety of formulations (water-, oil- or silicone-based) for enhanced stability. - Reduced irritation
The treatment creates a barrier between the pigment and the skin, reducing the risk of irritation.
Treatments available in our catalog
- Methicone: Offers good water resistance and facilitates dispersion in oily formulations. Perfect for lightweight, long-lasting products.
- Dimethicone: Provides a silky texture, excellent water resistance and reduced product heaviness, ideal for waterproof formulas and sun creams.
- Triethoxycaprylylsilane: Improves dispersion in water- or silicone-based formulas and enhances adhesion to the skin, perfect for long-lasting products.
- Trimethoxycaprylylsilane: Similar to triethoxycaprylylsilane, it offers hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, for stable, long-lasting formulas.
