Coloring pigments are finely milled powders or dispersions that provide intense, long-lasting coloration with excellent stability. They are used in foundations, lipsticks, eyeshadows, and nail polishes.
Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), and Ultramarines (CI 77007). Natural and ethically sourced mineral pigments are gaining preference. Regulatory considerations address purity, heavy metal content, and suitability for sensitive skin.
