PIGMENTS & PEARLS

Description

The Sympholight “TE” Collection has superior water-dispersibility and chemical stability due to the silica coating on the pigment. This results in more homogeneous finished products. These pigments are suitable for applications in cosmetics and personal care products such as liquid foundation, mascara, eyeliner, and skin care emulsions. Permitted use for eye or lip area applications should be confirmed against current regulations. Another benefit is that these pigments are compatible with carbomers.
