AMIGEL rheology guide: Sclerotium Gum in gels emulsions and suspensions

A comprehensive technical formulation guide dedicated to managing rheology in cosmetics using the natural polysaccharide AMIGEL (Sclerotium Gum). This article explores the physical mechanisms of polymer hydration and network formation for structuring clear gels, light emulsions, and particle-suspending fluids. It covers pre-dispersion in polyols, electrolyte stability, shear rate handling, incompatibility limits, thermal limits, and precise pH controls. Features three complete DIY recipes with step-by-step compounding instructions and cold storage standards.

Natpure Film AP: natural film-forming technology for skin color cosmetics and hair

A comprehensive technical formulation guide dedicated to utilizing the bio-based film former Natpure Film AP (derived from sugar cane) in color cosmetics and hair care. This article breaks down the physical mechanics of flexible film creation, moisture resistance, and pigment adhesion enhancement. It covers aqueous dissolution protocols, compatibility with natural polymers and gums, thermal boundaries, and precise pH controls. Features three complete DIY recipes with step-by-step compounding instructions and storage standards.

ViableCare LipoCare 8: integrating a liposomal ceramide complex into barrier-care formulas

A comprehensive technical formulation guide to designing skin barrier restoration creams and liposomal fluids using ViableCare LipoCare 8. This article breaks down the physiological mechanism of ceramide integration into stratum corneum lipids to stop transepidermal water loss. It details exact processing protocols to protect liposomal structures, low-shear cooling phase entry below thirty degrees Celsius, emulsifier compatibility, and pH boundaries. Features three complete DIY recipes with step-by-step compounding instructions and cold storage standards.

Choosing a pigment for a cosmetic base

This section covers dry and liquid pigments, titanium dioxide and colorants used to add colour to cosmetic formulations. These are functional raw materials rather than finished goods, added to a formulation during development.

Pigments are used in the production of decorative cosmetics, creams and other formulations requiring a precise, stable colour. For example dry titanium dioxide and items from the Pigments section are among the most requested base components.

Varieties and how they differ

Dry pigments and titanium dioxide suit oil or powder based formulations, while liquid pigments work in finished emulsions where even colour distribution matters without extra mixing. Colorants in general differ by solubility and the type of base they are designed for.

There are specialised items too: phosphors and luminescent powders give a glow in the dark effect, while colorant sets are convenient when several shades are needed at once for testing a formulation.

Selection and compatible ingredients

Selection depends on the base: dry pigments and titanium dioxide suit oil or powder bases, liquid variants suit finished emulsions. Pigments in this section combine well with items from the Metallic Powder, Glitters, Mica and Dyes, Pearlescents, and Glitters sections when a combined visual effect is needed.

A basic set for most formulations usually includes titanium dioxide as a white base, along with liquid pigments in yellow, orange, green, red and white to build a base palette.

Storage and packaging

Store pigments and colorants in a dry place away from direct light, in tightly sealed packaging, moisture exposure can cause dry components to clump. For larger orders items are also available under Cosmetic Pigments and Colorants Wholesale.

FAQ

What's included in the Pigments and Colorants section?

The section includes dry and liquid pigments, titanium dioxide and colorants for cosmetic formulations, as well as phosphors and ready made colorant sets.

How does a dry pigment differ from a liquid one?

Dry pigment and titanium dioxide are used in oil or powder based formulations, while liquid pigment is used in finished emulsions without extra mixing.

Do you provide COA and SDS documents for pigments?

Yes, COA, SDS and MSDS documents are available on request, particularly for larger orders, mention this when placing your order by email.

How should dry pigments and titanium dioxide be stored?

In a dry place away from direct light, in tightly sealed packaging, moisture exposure can cause the powder to clump and lose colour uniformity.

Can I order a pigment set for testing a formulation?

Yes, the section includes ready made colorant sets with several shades at once, useful for testing a new formulation before a larger order.

Recommendations

When choosing a pigment supplier, shade consistency from batch to batch and compatibility with the base formulation matter most. Mylo Opt has supplied pigments and colorants for cosmetics for over twelve years, provides COA and SDS on request and assembles orders within three to five business days. Place your order by email with the shade and volume you need.
