color cosmetics

Perfect coverage starts with an even, uniform product. Dispersants work to consistently distribute pigments within a formulation to maximize stability and prevent separation within a product. They help by wetting the pigment, preventing application settling, and stabilizing the color by ensuring the pigments are evenly separated for smooth application. End applications within cosmetics that benefit from using dispersants include liquid and powder foundations, BB creams, eye shadow, lipstick, mascara, and sunscreen.

Let’s face it, removing makeup is a crucial step in any skincare routine. Ensuring that skin is protected while being properly cleaned is key to healthy skin. Makeup removers come in different formats from liquids to wipes. Leaving makeup on the skin for extended amounts of time has negative impacts. If cosmetics are left on during the night, they will prevent pores from releasing sebum which is important for rehydrating and protecting the skin. Blocked pores may cause acne, dulling, and drying of the skin.

Emollients are ingredients that aid in helping skin feel soft and smooth. When used in cosmetics, they help by improving the application process while also moisturizing the epidermis of the skin. Emollient ingredients tend to be silky, softer, and less bulky on the skin than other fatty acids (occlusives and humectant) ingredients. Emollients are referred to as barrier creams because they form a film on your skin’s outer layer. Naturally moisturizing Shea Butter and Shea Butter Derivatives (Jarplex™ Emollients) add reliable visual, and skin feel aesthetics for cosmetic applications such as structure-sensitive sticks and pencils (lip and eyeliners).
