Optical properties

Better optics in make-up, gels and shampoos 

ImerCare minerals are excellent, 100% natural solutions for boosting the optical properties of make-up, gels and shampoos. ImerCare^® SheerSilk premium talc* has been engineered using patented technology to obtain an innovative, transparent structure that imparts multiple optical properties to make-up powders while maintaining excellent spreadability and homogeneity.

ImerCare SheerSilk premium talc provides:

• Transparency and a natural blur effect
• A pearlescent, lustrous finish
• Good homogeneity and spreadability on skin

ImerCare SheerSilk talc is ideal for natural-look, nude powders and blushes. It’s also an excellent base for highly pigmented, high-brilliance eye shadows.

For whiteness, try ImerCare^® K kaolins, which also provide enhanced opacity in face powders, creams and foundations. Imercare 02K(S) is ideal for minimizing usage of titanium dioxide in formulations that utilize it.

ImerCare^® Opaque kaolin is ideal for providing whiteness and opacity and a rich, creamy texture in shampoos and shower gels and is an excellent alternative to titanium dioxide in soap formulation.

ImerCare^® Opaline premium talc is the perfect solution for achieving a luxurious, pearlescent effect in shampoos and shower gels, and for a matte effect, the soft, fine particles of our ImerCare K kaolins are ideal. 

We recommend:

• ImerCare^® Matte for a natural matte effect in day creams and lipsticks
• ImerCare^® 04K for a semi-matte effect in eye shadows. 

Highly absorbent ImerCare^®diatomaceous earth grades are excellent for creating a matte effect in hair styling waxes and color cosmetics. 

We recommend:

• ImerCare^® 06D and 400D for matting hair styling waxes and for matte lipsticks
