Products in Pigments & Colorants: Mica

Gelest Sericite HS (SAA-HSA) is a white to off-white powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations. The hydrophilic treatment allows for superior dispersion in water for high loading. This pigment has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.

Seribrite™ SS (SAB-SSA) is a high-whiteness sericite that provides slip and creaminess not achievable with other treated and untreated sericites. The stearyl triethoxysilane treatment imparts the excellent wetting properties of the shorter-chain silanes with a more emollient skin feel in powders and dispersed systems. It is a pigment that is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Sericite SR (SAA-SRA) is a white to off-white powder treated with trimethylsiloxysilicate. The hydroxyl-terminated silsesquioxane network in the coating improves adhesion to skin and hair, making it ideal for use in color cosmetic formulations. This pigment is the best candidate for use in long-wearing and water-resistant makeup.

Gelest Sericite SS (SAA-SSA) is a white to off-white powder treated with stearyl triethoxysilane. This hydrophobic treatment imparts the excellent wetting properties of the shorter-chain silanes with a more emollient skin feel in powders and dispersed systems. It is a pigment that is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Sericite TC (SAA-TCA) is a white to off-white powder treated with triethoxycaprylylsilane. This alkyl silane coating provides a very hydrophobic surface that increases the ease of particle dispersion in natural and synthetic fluids and helps stabilize particles in emulsion systems. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Sericite ML (SAA-MLA) is a white to off-white powder treated with dimethicone PEG-3 laurate. This treatment allows for high pigment loading, water repellency, and low viscosity dispersion to maximize color intensity. It is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Cameleon™ CelluBlack is a cellulose-based encapsulation of gold mica that protects pigments within formulations, helping to maintain a white, clean appearance. The encapsulation only breaks upon application, providing a dramatic and consistent color transformation. It is globally approved and can withstand the high pressure associated with various formulation processes.

Cameleon™ Gold is a globally approved encapsulated pigment that does not require a dedicated production line for pigments or color cosmetics. CameleonCaps™ are durable during formulation and scale-up yet break easily upon application, providing a dramatic and consistent color transformation. It also provides increased stability in a variety of applications and helps to maintain the white mass tone or transparency of formulations.

Sericite S-150 is a natural origin mineral that aids in the spreading of cosmetics. Its characteristic in formulations provides excellent spreadability and a smooth texture resulting in a natural matte finish. Miyoshi is able to offer a variety of innovative surface treatments to Sericite S-150 to provide new properties to the product such as our patented silky-smooth Dimethicone (SA) treatment for a luxurious feel.

BioGenic Magicolor beads are produced through a unique, patented multi-layer encapsulation technology, offering a high load of iron oxide pigments (40-50%) and titanium dioxide. The pigment's true color is only revealed upon application. This technology can be used in emulsion systems, pressed powders, and anhydrous lip products. Use levels vary depending on the desired color profile and formulation type. Particle size: 50-60 µm.

Bismica MAXs are pearl pigments that have a uniquely bonded combination of pigments, bismuth oxychloride and muscovite mica. These pearlescent pigments provide intense color impact. They are used primarily in pressed powders, eyeshadows and lip products.

Bismicas are pearl pigments that have a uniquely bonded combination of pigments, bismuth oxychloride and muscovite mica. These pearlescent pigments provide vibrant color with a subtle satin luster. They are used primarily in pressed powders, eyeshadows, and lip products.
