ACT is a hybrid surface treatment consisting of vegetable derived amino acid, fatty acid metal soap and silane. Each 
component provides unique properties that synergistically make the ACT treatment one of the most effective treatments 
developed to date. (USP 6,482,441.) ACT treatment is applied to pigments and cosmetic substrates using Miyoshi America’s 
proprietary unique process, which allows for micronization and uniform surface treatment of individual particles.

Over 15 years ago, Miyoshi Kasei introduced its novel Amino Acid surface treatment technology for cosmetic applications. 
This patented technology, designated NAI (replacing the original AI, animal-derived treatment) is based on the chemical 
bonding of Disodium Stearoyl Glutamate to pigments and substrates. The NAI treatment was quickly embraced worldwide 
because of its unique benefits. The Compatibility of NAI treated pigments in silicone-based systems has been amply 
demonstrated by their usage in a number of commercially available W/S liquid foundations. NAI and NAID is longwearing 
and provides a moist, dewy feel while being much easier to disperse in oils and silicones.

The Miyoshi 
Group has developed a large range of multi-functional porous and 
non-porous silica beads. Silica beads provide slip, fluidity and 
spreadability in both powder and liquid systems. 
They also offer soft-focus and sebum/oil absorption properties. 
The porous type can also be used as an active carrier such as 
Hyaluronic Acid to facilitate the formulation of active ingredients in 
products and their release control in application. 
Silica beads are also available with surface treatment to provide 
additional value-added benefits such as strong hydrophobicity, 
excellent dispersibility into oil, and additional enhanced feel.

The MiyoSHADE line of inorganic Titanium Dioxide powder 
sunscreens provide some of the most effective and safest protection while providing long lasting and water resistant 
properties. These sunscreens are registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and also 
comply with the Annex VI of Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 opinion in the European Union.

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.

Texture is a crucial factor that consumers rely on to determine a sense of a product’s quality. Texture plays a large role in the perception of product performance across many categories, but it is especially key for cosmetic products. MiyoFEEL SXI-L is a unique composite of silica coated homogenously on mica, surface treated with a natural Lecithin treatment. The result is a silky-soft feeling powder with excellent water repellency, good spreadablity, and natural coverage. Incident light is refracted by the silica beads / mica composite and provides a soft-focus effect

Triethoxycaprylylsilane treated pigments offer benefits of both silicone and hydrocarbon treatments with the presence of hydrocarbon chain on silicone backbone. Alkyl Silane treated pigments have excellent dispersibility in various oils including; esters, mineral oils, plant oils and silicone fluids. The lipophilic caprylyl group offers excellent hydrophobicity and unique creamy/adhesive feel in powders and liquid formulations. It allows for good coverage onto the skin due to its affinity with sebum.

A proper dispersion is essential for optimal performance of a sunscreen product. It provides better UV protection, improves stability, and reduced whitening improves cosmetic appeal. Titanium dioxide is an effective UV absorber, and its physical and chemical stability differentiates this filter from organic UV absorbers. To improve dispersion in formulas and performances, TiO2 is available treated with various inorganic and organic compounds. Many dispersions can be difficult to work with due to their lack of flow in cosmetic oils and their requirement to be dispersed using a surfactant or dispersant
