Materials for Cosmetics & Personal Care
Mineral ingredients for colour, texture and feel
Minerals give cosmetic and personal-care products many of their most recognizable properties. They can provide opacity, slip, absorbency, soft focus, colour control, thickening and UV-related functionality.
Redwater Materials supports formulators with selected mineral powders and high-purity compounds for colour cosmetics, skin care, oral care and powdered personal-care products.
Applications
Where these materials are used
Selected mineral and specialty material applications across the cosmetics & personal care market.
Skin-care formulations
Kaolin, silica and zinc compounds for absorbency, sensory feel and formulation structure.
Oral care
Qualified silica and calcium products used as abrasives, opacifiers and formulation aids.
Powder systems
Talc alternatives, kaolin and treated minerals for flow, coverage and texture.
Custom blends
Mineral combinations developed to meet a target colour, feel or physical property.
Material performance
Performance begins with particle properties
Particle size, shape, surface treatment and colour values influence how a mineral disperses and feels on skin. Cosmetic use also requires product-specific review of impurities, microbiological limits and regulatory suitability.
