Products in Hydrophilic Treatments: Iron Oxides

Gelest Red Iron Oxide HS (RIA-HSA) is a red iron oxide 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 Red Iron Oxide TC (RIA-TCA) is a red iron oxide 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 Yellow Iron Oxide SR (YIA-SRA) is a yellow 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.

Gelest Black Iron Oxide SR (BIA-SRA) is a black iron oxide powder with the addition of polymethyl silsesquioxane and 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.

Gelest Yellow Iron Oxide ML (YIA-MLA) is a yellow 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.

Gelest Red Iron Oxide SR (RIA-SRA) is a red iron oxide powder with polycaprylylsilsesquioxane and trimethylsiloxysilicate.

Gelest BIB-HSA is a black iron oxide powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is specifically utilized in different color cosmetic formulations. Gelest BIB-HSA offers a higher tinting strength and demonstrates a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.

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.

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.

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

Coloursphere® WL 10 Red HL is an hydrophilic spherical composite material, in which colorants have been encapsulated into a polymer structure. The wetting properties of Coloursphere® WL 10 Red HL is excellent due to its small specific surface area. It is typically used in foundations, powders, eyeshadows, and lip applications. Ideal for color changing technology as well.

Coloursphere® WL 40 Black HL is a new generation of cosmetic color composite which is ideal for mascaras. It not only deliver color but it also function as a volumizing agent, thickener and rheology modifier. Coloursphere® WL 40 HL modify the film forming properties of the formulation, improving the wear and performance.

COLOURSPHERES® are spherical composite materials, in which colorants have been encapsulated into a polymer structure. Colourspheres® offer many advantages in comparison with conventional pigments as their structure is very different, and as their surface characteristics have been modified. The wetting properties of Colourspheres® are excellent due to their small specific surface area. They are hydrophilic in surface properties and very easy to disperse allowing time efficient color shading. Colourspheres WL 10 HB are hydrophilic and 40 microns in size.
