Treated Pigments & Powders

AEROXIDE® TiO₂ P 25 isa fine-particulate, pure titanium dioxide (TiO₂) with high specific surface area and marked aggregate and agglomerate structure. Because of its high purity, high specific surface area, and unique combination of anatase and rutile crystal structure, the product is suitable for many catalytic and photocatalytic applications. Its structure also makes it suitable for use as an effective UV filter.

Gelest Ultramarine Blue HS (LIA-HSA) is a blue powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. It has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out. This ultramarine pigment has good color retention and is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Olive derivatives such as squalane are often used in make-up formulations for their multiple benefits including easy spreading and a nourishing yet not oily feeling. They also show excellent compatibility with many different types of oils. Moreoever, raw materials derived from olive oil are the prefect answer to formulating chemists’ growing demand for natural ingredients. Even today it is, still complicated to find ingredients that combine high performance and vegetable origin, especially in the cosmetic industry. Consumers continue to hope for naturally derived personal care products that provide a norishing feel, comfortable & homogeneous feel, and long lasting properties

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate is a synthetic compound derived from fatty acid. When Iron Oxides are surface treated with Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, they display strong color development properties with increased adhesion to the skin. TPT is very reactive to almost all pigments and forms a uniform coating of lipophilic isostearate groups. There are abundant fatty ester groups on the treated surface; therefore, the titanate treated pigments can be easily wetted by and dispersed in organic vehicles, like esters, mineral oils or petrolatum. Oil absorption is substantially reduced, allowing the loading of pigments in the formula to be increased. TPT treated pigments are suitable for liquid foundations, lipsticks, blushes, eye shadows, and sunscreens.

MiyoAQUA is a hydrophilic surface treatment based on alginate. This anionic polysaccharide is found naturally in oceans around the world in the cell walls of brown algae and kelp. Inorganic pigments such as iron oxide and pigmentary titanium dioxide surface treated with sodium alginate are highly hydrophilic and provide excellent dispersibility and re-dispersibility into the water phase.
