Supplied byDKSH- Last Updated on Nov 14, 2025

Isopropyl Myristate (and) Isostearic Acid (and) Lecithin (and) Polyglyceryl-3 Polyricinoleate (and) Polyhydroxystearic Acid (and) Ethylhexyl Palmitate. Applecare A-100 distributed by DKSH is an easy-to-use pigment dispersion system. It is a unique complex consisting of optimized amount of wetting agents, dispersants & light cosmetic oils for pigment grinding & wetting, separation of pigment agglomerates, and stabilization of the separated pigment particles. It is a GMO-, gluten-, phthalate-, pesticide-, parabens and chemicals-free grade.
  • It is used for dispersing the hydrophilic (non-surface treated) inorganic pigments (TiO2, ZnO, iron oxide, etc) & fillers in the cosmetic oil, resulting in a low viscosity, fine, uniform and high dosage pigment dispersion without the need of pre-surface coating/treatment of the pigments.
  • It also changes the surfaces of pigments & fillers to hydrophobic, improving their water-resistance and longer-lasting benefits.
  • Applecare A-100 is an essential ingredient in developing the new color control air cushion compact, which is a multi-tasking silky light CC foundation with broad spectrum SPF 50+, complete coverage, anti-aging and deep skin hydration in an easy-to-use sponge package.
  • It is applicable for mascaras, lip products, pencils & liners, eye shadows, blushes, compact powders and sunscreen products with inorganic UV filters.
