Choosing a pigment for a formulation type

This section covers liquid and dry pigments, including pearlescent and fluorescent variants, for colouring cosmetic formulations. These are functional raw materials added to a formulation during colour development.

Pigments are used in decorative cosmetics and other formulations requiring a precise, controllable colour. The section is part of the broader Colorants and Pigments category.

Varieties and how they differ

Liquid pigments are convenient for finished emulsions where even colour distribution matters without extra mixing, while dry cosmetic pigments suit oil or powder based formulations.

Liquid pearlescent pigments and pearlescent pigments add a soft shimmer to a formula, while fluorescent pigments give a bolder decorative effect under certain lighting.

Selection and compatible ingredients

Pigment choice depends on the base of the formula: emulsions suit liquid variants, powder and oil based formulations work better with dry pigments. A basic set often includes yellow, orange, green and red liquid pigment, along with brown and blue liquid pearlescent pigment for more complex shades. Pigments pair well with titanium dioxide as a white base.

Storage and packaging

Pigments in this section are supplied from China, Sweden, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, India, the USA and England among others. Store in a dry place away from direct light, liquid pigments are kept at room temperature, avoiding swings and direct heat.

FAQ

What's included in the Pigments section?

The section includes liquid and dry pigments, including pearlescent and fluorescent variants, for colouring cosmetic formulations.

How does a liquid pigment differ from a dry one?

A liquid pigment is used in finished emulsions where even colour distribution matters, while a dry pigment suits oil or powder based formulations.

Do you provide COA and SDS documents?

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

How should liquid pigments be stored?

At room temperature, avoiding swings and direct heat, as well as direct sunlight, which can affect colour stability.

Can I order a pigment set for testing a formulation?

Yes, orders are placed by email and volume plus the set of shades are arranged individually for the task at hand.
