Primrose silica coated pigments are hydrophilic pigments that are ideal
for O/W and water-rich systems. The silica coating, with a refractive index
similar to human skin, provides a soft focus effect by increasing diffuse
reflection. As the trends towards O/W systems continues, Primrose
pigments help overcome some of the typical drawbacks of O/W systems
such as gritty feel, weak color development, and wet/dry color stability. In
turn, chemists will be able to formulate systems with the “fresh” watery
feel of O/W systems with the added benefit of soft focus color pigments
