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.

MiyoSTAY Z20 enhances sebum control and long lasting effects by increasing zinc oxide compared to Miyoshi’s first generation product, Powder La Vie. This next generation multifunctional composite powder provides long lasting effects through sebum jellification. It also provides anti-microbial & deodorant effect and a matte non-shiny finish. MiyoSTAY Z20 multifunctional composite powder allows chemists to develop multifaceted formulations with higher efficacy and efficency

SXI-5 is a unique composite of silica bead on top of mica surface treated with Miyoshi’s patented dimethicone (SA) technology. The result is excellent slip and spreadibility and provides formulations ultra smooth textures. Incident light is refracted by the silica beads of SXI-5 and provides a soft-focus effect.

Seriluxe™ M325C is a natural, mined mineral that is finer, smoother, and softer than traditional mica. It is an excellent, cost-effective alternative to talc that extends pigment, improves skin adhesion, and enhances texture. This grade has a white to off-white color, with an opaque, matte finish. Average particle size: 19µm.

Sericite SL is a fine, white-gray powder with a transparent matte finish. Average particle size: 4.7µm. Naturally mined mineral sericite mica that is a functional bulk filler and enhances texture.

Sericite SL-012 is a hydrophobic surface treated sericite. It spreads easily and uniformly on the skin while providing good skin adhesion. This grade is a fine, white-gray powder with a soft smooth silky matte finish. Average particle size: 4.7 µm.

Sericite PHN is an excellent alternative to talc as a cost-effective pigment extender and bulk filler. This grade is a fine, white-gray powder with a transparent white finish. Average particle size: 3-5µm.

Sericite FSE is an excellent alternative to talc that extends pigments, improves skin adhesion, and enhances texture. This grade is a fine white-gray powder that exhibits a matte finish which provides good coverage. The average particle size is 5µm.

Arcopearl® Pure interference pigments advance current natural mica based technologies. Arcopearl® pearlescent pigments are finely coated metallic oxide onto a smooth surfaced natural mica substrate. These effect pigments display intense luster, high chroma, and excellent sensory benefits with exceptional value for cost effective formulations.

BioGenic Magicolor beads are produced through a unique, patented multi-layer encapsulation technology, offering a high load of iron oxide pigments (40-50%) and titanium dioxide. The pigment's true color is only revealed upon application. This technology can be used in emulsion systems, pressed powders, and anhydrous lip products. Use levels vary depending on the desired color profile and formulation type. Particle size: 50-60 µm.
