Versatile boosters for shampoos and styling products
Our minerals boost anti-dandruff shampoo performance and are a natural solution for opacity, pearlescence and mattifying effect in a wide range of hair care products.
Our ImerCare® 90P-Scrub natural perlite product is an excellent soft exfoliating solution for removing dandruff while boosting foam formation.
The controlled particle shape and size of ImerCare 90P-Scrub natural perlite:
- Removes dandruff leaving the scalp cleaner and more comfortable
- Boosts foam formation
- Gives a creamy texture
Our ImerCare® Opaque range is ideal for providing opacity and whiteness in shampoos.
- Gives a luxurious, rich, creamy effect
- Is neither pH nor ionic-surfactant sensitive, unlike chemical opacifiers
- Is a one-size-fits all alternative to oil-derived opacifiers
Also from the ImerCare® range, our kaolin and micro-porous diatomite products confer a superior matte effect in styling waxes.
We particularly recommend:
- ImerCare® 06D and ImerCare® 400D diatomaceous earth product
- ImerCare® 06KS and ImerCare® 02K-S kaolin product

Kaolin
Kaolin is a rock from which the clay mineral kaolinite is derived. This one has been used for millennia as the principal ingredient in porcelain tableware. Today Imerys kaolins bring critical properties to a host of end applications ranging from paper to paints, fiberglass to cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
In the pursuit of healthy white teeth, Imerys has found that toothpaste that combines kaolin and delicately engineered perlite provides highly effective dental care and meets consumers’ preference for natural ingredients.
The mineral perlite is an effective replacement for microbeads in scrubs and shower gels – not only for its exfoliating performance, but for reducing plastic pollution in oceans.
