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.

Excel Mica JP-M is a soft focus powder consisting of natural American Mica that is coated with Aluminum Hydroxide. The composite is close to the ideal skin pattern, has transparency and makes skin look bright.

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

Sericite S-150 is a natural origin mineral that aids in the spreading of cosmetics. Its characteristic in formulations provides excellent spreadability and a smooth texture resulting in a natural matte finish. Miyoshi is able to offer a variety of innovative surface treatments to Sericite S-150 to provide new properties to the product such as our patented silky-smooth Dimethicone (SA) treatment for a luxurious feel.

Chemists often have difficulty finding high opacity, pure white powders for their formulations that remain true to color in both wet and dry conditions, a key point to developing liquid foundations. To combat this, Miyoshi America has developed MiyoHAZE White, an innovative, multi-functional opacifying powder that can be used in a wide range of cosmetic products. MiyoHAZE White’s unique properties display both wet and dry color fidelity with high opacity resulting in a soft-focus effect in the end formulation. MiyoHAZE White can also be surface treated to provide additional value-added benefits such as strong hydrophobicity, high coverage, and enhanced feel.

MiyoHAZE BT is an innovative soft-focus composite. Barium sulfate is commonly used in cosmetics as a colorant and an opacifying agent. Miyoshi has taken barium sulfate to the next performance level, creating a barium sulfate/titanium dioxide sandwich-like composite, providing excellent wet and dry haze. MiyoHAZE BT provides higher diffused reflection and higher luminosity without significant attenuation compared to conventional barium sulfate. Its true talent is remaining consistent in delivering a natural look and moderate opacity that blurs imperfections and highlights a flawless complexion

Consumers have become more focused on natural, eco-friendly and sustainable ingredients in their cosmetic products. Upwards of 60% of consumers are carefully reading the composition of their products. With this in mind, the Miyoshi Group launched the MiyoNAT VAA range, combining both naturality and performance

Sunscreen products containing mineral sunscreens, particularly those containing zinc oxide, consistently rate as the safest products on the market. Zinc oxide is stable in sunlight and offers a good balance of protection from both UVB and UVA ultraviolet radiation. MiyoSHADE Z Plus is a non-nano zinc oxide sunscreen, surface treated with Miyoshi’s hybrid silicone that provides enhanced benefits such as broad spectrum coverage, smooth texture, and compatibility with many solvents

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.

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

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

The silica used in MiyoHAZE SM typically has an index of refraction and is closer to that of human skin at 1.46. In personal care formulations, MiyoHAZE SM results in diffuse reflection/transmission of incident light and provides an acute, optical effect of reducing skin imperfections such as large pores and wrinkles.

MiyoHAZE BB-ALT is a newly developed synthetic microbead powder consisting of Aluminum Calcium Sodium Silicate surface treated with Triethoxycaprylylsilane. It provides a high soft focus effect to cover pores and wrinkles effectively even when wetted with oils. It provides good wet and dry haze, high total transmittance, and smooth and uniform spreadability onto the skin, allowing for natural coverage when used in cosmetic formulations. MiyoHAZE BB-ALT meets customer demand for natural look while covering skin imperfections.

Mica is a natural mineral used as a cosmetic powder that aids in the spreading of cosmetics. Due to its reflective properties, mica enhances a softer and more youthful look when used in cosmetic formulations. In its native form, Mica resembles metal in thin rock sheets or flakes, with an iridescent, pearly luster. While Mica typically displays a gray to brown color characteristic, Miyoshi’s Mica CM-10 exhibits a white color when dry, and off-white when wet with mineral oil. Mica Miyoshi is able to offer Mica CM-10*, both untreated and surface treated, with a variety of our innovative surface treatments including our patented, silky-smooth Dimethicone (SA) treatment for a luxurious feel.
