Mineral Pigments

Mineral pigments are finely milled powders that provide natural, long-lasting color to cosmetic formulations. Key features include enhanced skin adhesion, non-comedogenic properties, and broad shade availability. They are used in foundations, sunscreens, and color cosmetics. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499), Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), and Ultramarines (CI 77007). These pigments are gaining popularity for their skin-friendly and photo-protective properties. Sub-types include coated and uncoated versions. Regulatory considerations emphasize purity levels and heavy metal content compliance.
