Products in Treated Pigments & Powders: Mica

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.

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 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 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.

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.

Colourmat® products are platelet shaped particles giving good skin adherence. As the particles are platelet shaped and sized between 10-20 microns, Colourmats provide a matte appearance upon application. HB is a Dimethicone treatment, which gives soft feel and hydrophobic surface characteristics. HB treated products have excellent photostability and binding properties. They make powders compactable due to the improved cohesion as well as ease the application of the powder.

Color Techniques D-9051/I Hydrophobic Mica/ Improved appears as satin white used in blush, eye shadow, eyebrow, eyeliner, face powder, foundation, lip, mascara, nail lacquer.

Colourmat® products are platelet shaped particles giving good skin adherence. As the particles are platelet shaped and sized between 10-20 microns, Colourmats provide a matte appearance upon application. SILis a Dimethicone treatment, which gives soft feel and hydrophobic characteristics. Dimethicone treatment enhances wetting properties of the particles, and it has excellent photostablility.

Colourmat® products are platelet shaped particles giving good skin adherence. As the particles are platelet shaped and sized between 10-20 microns, Colourmats provide a matte appearance upon application. DF products are treated with Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Dimethicone, which give a silicone-like softness and hydrophobic surface characteristics. DF treated products have excellent photostability. They are ideal for color care applications.

Colourmat® products are platelet shaped particles giving good skin adherence. As the particles are platelet shaped and sized between 10-20 microns, Colourmats provide a matte appearance upon application. FLWJ treatment consists of Soy amino acids and Jasmine flower wax. The surface charge is modified so that the FLWJ treated particles create 3D-structures. This makes them ideal for volume compacting as the 3D-structure gives airiness and lightness to powder applications. FLWJ treatment is suitable for natural cosmetics.
