Color Cosmetics

For color cosmetics such as lipstick, nail polish, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, rouge etc., we offer cosmetic grade effect pigments from Eckart, Phospholipids from Lucas Meyer Cosmetics and TRES BN (Boron Nitride) Cosmetic Powders from Saint Gobain. 

Visionaire:– Metallic pigments for cosmetics

The exclusive metallic pigment range from elegant silver to majestic gold and copper shades.  Based on innovative micro encapsulation technology visionaire offers unique metallic lusture combined with superior performance.  The visionaire products are specially suitable to provide exciting possibilities in color cosmetics.  Metallic flakes provide excellent coverage.

Syncrystal:– Synthetic mica based effect pigments for bright white cosmetic formulations 

Due to the artificial nature of the substrate the level of impurities is very much decreased compared to the natural mica.  The smooth coating of titanium dioxide on the synthetic fluorphlogopite leads to extraordinary white pearl effect and high transparency.  These clean white effects are especially visible in transparent products like lip glosses and nail polishes as well as in opaque systems like lotions.

Mirage:– A new effect line pigment for glamorous effect

The new MIRAGE effect pigments distinguish themselves from natural mica based pigments by their extraordinary sparkling effects and glamorous look.  The smooth coating on the calcium sodium borosilicate leads to very high transparency and pure interference colors.

Silverdream:– Aluminum pigment dispersion for nail polish:

The SILVERDREAM product line presents a unique line of metallic pigment dispersions for nail enamels.  Silverdream Moonlight offers an intensely radiant mirror effect whereas Silverdream Starlight presents a breathtaking twinkling appearance. The beauty in metallics comes from a unique metallic sheen where the metallic color plays with light.  When mixed with other colorants, such as organics and/or pearlescent, astonishing polychromatic effects can be achieved.

TRES BN Cosmetic Powders from Saint Gobain:- Achieving the perfect balance in how the final product affects our senses lasts, flows through a process and costs, is the formulators challenge.  TRÈS BN® powders are not only soft, but work in synergy with many other materials to achieve this balance. 

Whether it's the shimmer of an eye shadow, the coverage in a foundation, or higher yield in your extrusion process, TRÈS BN® powders offer formulators many solutions wrapped into one material. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a synthesis of Borax (natural mineral) and a Nitrogen source at high temperature resulting in a lamellar structure that resembles graphite, except pure HBN is white. TRÈS BN cosmetic powders are Ultra-High Purity (UHP) versions of this lamellar form with each layer or cleavage face containing boron and nitrogen. There is no B-N bonding between layers and, therefore, planes slide over one another, creating a soft and lubricating effect. Each TRÈS BN® grade has unique properties that are associated with crystal size, morphology and surface characteristics. From sub-micron crystals to 50 micron platelets, each grade within this range has a different appearance from matte to shiny, but all are soft, smooth and adherent. Furthermore, TRÈS BN® is a dielectric ceramic powder that remains on the skin's surface, offering a transparent and photo-stable layer of protection for skin care actives.

Features of TRES BN cosmetics powders are :

Hiding power: The whiteness of the crystals permits low micron sized powders to act as pigments.  Their high surface area provides bonding sites for liquid carriers, providing excellent coverage and hiding power.

Compressibility: Flat platelets allow for excellent compaction eliminating the need for compacting additives such as stearates.

Lubricity: Scientific testing shows TRÈS BN powder offers lower coefficients of friction than traditional cosmetic powders such as talc, resulting in a more lubricious feel and silky  texture.

We are also offering phospholipids in various forms for very interesting applications in make up products.  Please go through the presentation for more details.
