Ideal ingredients for all types of cosmetics and personal care
ImerCare® cosmetics is a range of engineered minerals for the cosmetics industry, derived from 100% natural diatomaceous earth, kaolin, mica, perlite, calcium carbonate, calcium silicate and talc*.
Our experts engineer these minerals to provide exactly the right properties in terms of exfoliation, mattifying, opacity, transparency, coverage, rheology, absorption and skin feel.
The ImerCare range is ideal for use in toiletries, color cosmetics, make-up, skincare and haircare products, plus toothpastes, body powders and deodorants.
All our ImerCare grades are natural, high quality, chemically inert and offer good skin tolerance. They are also Cosmos and Ecocert approved (unless otherwise stated).
