Effects and Benefits of Application

OD Pearl (Oil Dispersible) pigments compress easily in powders and enhance the deposition of color on the skin. OD Pearls, created by a unique Ciba Specialty Chemicals process, provide opportunities for new formulation approaches. OD Pearl pigments offer a wide range of transparency and coverage for today’s modern color cosmetics...for today’s modern consumer.

     Superior Color Delivery

• Less oil absorption from the oil phase, resulting in lower viscosity and increased color loading
• Enhances delivery of other pigments
• Formulation opportunities for radiant skin lotions

     Brighter, Longer Lasting Color

• Pigments stay on skin longer, compared to traditional pearls
• Noticeable visual impact; brighter shades

     Enhanced Emollience                                                  

• Glides on easily
• Products feel and look very smooth and silky

     Effects and Benefits of Production

• OD Pearl pigments disperse in the oil phase quickly
• OD Pearl pigments reduce dusting, minimizing cross-contamination of color
• By allowing for quicker and easier clean-up, you benefit from faster batch turnaround and increased productivity
• Because OD Pearl pigments disperse easily in formulations that require a viscous oil phase, reducing air bubbles and processing time, they are ideal for lip care products
