Velluto premium talc makes an excellent base for cosmetic concealers requiring high or full coverage and homogeneity, including corrective and camouflage products. Unlike conventional talc grades, ImerCare Velluto premium talc can easily be used in wet processes where it prevents cracking. It also demonstrates high fracture resistance, improving the compressibility and cohesion of pressed powders and compacts.
