Maximum Loading (ML)-Treated Pigments; INCI name: Dimethicone PEG-3 Laurate
ML surface treatments utilize a hydrophobic siloxane with an embedded polar segment that disrupts particle-particle interaction. The combination of alkyl and polyethylene glycol functional groups are balanced to maximize wetting in non-polar oils.
Maximum Loading Treatment Benefits:
- High pigment loading
- Excellent pigment wetting in oils
- Low oil absorption
- Water repellency
- Low viscosity dispersions
- Improved compressibility
- Maximizes color intensity
Recommended Uses:
- Powder cream formulations
- Pencils
- Cream eyeshadows
- Stick eyeshadows

Powder Cream Concealer with ML Pigments and SerebriteTM SS
This high coverage formula applies like a cream, yet has the dry feel of a powder. Dimethicone Maximum Loading (ML) pigments allow for higher pigment loading due to low oil absorption and excellent wetting proprieties. Seribrite™ SS is added as a boron nitride replacement due to its whiteness, slip, and creamy feel upon application.
