Products in Treated Pigments & Powders: Titanium Dioxide

Gelest Titanium Dioxide HS (WIA-HSA) is a white titanium dioxide powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations. It has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.

Gelest Titanium Dioxide SF (WIA-SFA) is a white powder treated with triethoxysilylpropyl acetyl hydroxyprolinate. This hydrophilic, amino acid-treated pigment improves the skin's affinity and increases its moisture-binding capability. This skin-friendly pigment is recommended for use in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Titanium Dioxide ML (WIA-MLA) is a 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. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations.

Gelest Titanium Dioxide SS (WIA-SSA) is a 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.

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

Oleosperse Series is comprised of reactive silicone blends applied to pigment surfaces. The resulting polymers are resistant to separation, extraction, shear forces, and temperature. Oleosperse pigments are easily dispersible in oils and silicone systems, preventing water uptake.

Aquaspersabil series consists of surface treated pigments with improved dispersibility into the water phase. They can achieve high loads by evenly distributing particles in the medium.

Sympholight “TE” Series has superior water-dispersibility and chemical stability, resulting in more homogeneous finished products. It has applications in cosmetics and personal care such as liquid foundation, mascara, eye liner, and skincare emulsions.

Sympholight “O” Series has high oil dispersibility and provides a film that is highly uniform in color, resulting in a beautiful finish. Since these pigments do not require a high shear process, manufacturing time and resources may be reduced.

A proper dispersion is essential for optimal performance of a sunscreen product. It provides better UV protection, improves stability, and reduced whitening improves cosmetic appeal. Titanium dioxide is an effective UV absorber, and its physical and chemical stability differentiates this filter from organic UV absorbers. To improve dispersion in formulas and performances, TiO2 is available treated with various inorganic and organic compounds. Many dispersions can be difficult to work with due to their lack of flow in cosmetic oils and their requirement to be dispersed using a surfactant or dispersant

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

MiyoAQUA is a hydrophilic surface treatment based on alginate. This anionic polysaccharide is found naturally in oceans around the world in the cell walls of brown algae and kelp. Inorganic pigments such as iron oxide and pigmentary titanium dioxide surface treated with sodium alginate are highly hydrophilic and provide excellent dispersibility and re-dispersibility into the water phase.

The MiyoSHADE line of inorganic Titanium Dioxide powder sunscreens provide some of the most effective and safest protection while providing long lasting and water resistant properties. These sunscreens are registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and also comply with the Annex VI of Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 opinion in the European Union.

Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate is a synthetic compound derived from fatty acid. When Iron Oxides are surface treated with Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, they display strong color development properties with increased adhesion to the skin. TPT is very reactive to almost all pigments and forms a uniform coating of lipophilic isostearate groups. There are abundant fatty ester groups on the treated surface; therefore, the titanate treated pigments can be easily wetted by and dispersed in organic vehicles, like esters, mineral oils or petrolatum. Oil absorption is substantially reduced, allowing the loading of pigments in the formula to be increased. TPT treated pigments are suitable for liquid foundations, lipsticks, blushes, eye shadows, and sunscreens.

SUNTITAN-AS is a non nano Tio2 product that is encapsulated within silica and the surface is coated with triethoxycaprylsilane. This product is widely used in premium sun care for boosting SPF and giving a ultra light texture feeling.

Titan Kogyo TDB-605F is less bluish and has excellent transparency.

Titan Kogyo STT-65C-S has anatase crystalline structure. The former is mainly used for electrophotographic external toner additives, and the latter is used in cosmetics that protect against ultraviolet light. As an external toner additive, anatase titanium oxide has excellent flowing properties and is effective for controlling electrostatic charge. Regarding rutile titanium oxide used for cosmetics, a wide varieties of products are available, including products with highly transparency and the capability of blocking ultraviolet light, as well as products with unique shapes and distinctive textures.
