ImerCare® SheerSilk
Sourced in the Italian Alps, ImerCare SheerSilk premium talc is engineered using patented technology to obtain an innovative transparent structure that enhances the colour and optical and sensory properties of colour cosmetics such as make-up face powders, blushes and eye shadows.
Used in pressed make-up powders, ImerCare SheerSilk premium talc provides:
- A transparent and natural nude, blur effect
- A pearlescent, lustrous finish
- Good homogeneity and spreadability on skin
- Good cohesion and compressibility
In eye shadows, it makes an excellent base for highly pigmented, high-brilliance products. For cohesion and compressibility in pressed powders and compacts, SheerSilk premium talc demonstrates high fracture resistance and unlike conventional talc grades, it can easily be used in wet processes where it prevents cracking.
All our cosmetic products are natural, high-quality, chemically inert and offer good skin tolerance. They are not treated with chemicals during processing. These attributes enable them to be used in cosmetic products that comply with cosmetic directive regulation (EC) n° 1223/2009.
ImerCare SheerSilk premium talc is also Cosmos certified – certificates of origin and additional documentation are available upon request.
