Eyeshadow with SS Pigments

The skin feel of eyeshadow made with Stearyl Triethoxysilane (SS)-treated pigments is exceptionally moist and soft. The long chain stearylsilane is effective in improving compressibility of pigments and pearls while improving skin adhesion.

  • Long-Wearing Eyeshadow with SR Pigments and SiBrid® DE-23

    In eyeshadows, Sebum Resistant (SR)-treated pigments improve wear and skin adhesion due to low oil absorption and better H2O repellency. SR treated pigments and pearls greatly increase compressibility of powders without increasing the tendency for glazing.

    Pearlescent Copper Eyeshadow with SS Pigments and SiBrid® DE-23

    Alone or as part of a binder system, polydiethylsiloxanes offer excellent slip, spread, and blending of powdered cosmetics. Like dimethicones, diethicones improve water repellency but are more lubricious, have increased cushion, and are more compatible with other cosmetic ingredients. The Silky Slip (SS)-treated pigments and pearls help contribute to longer wear on skin and a softer feel.

  • Shimmer to Pearl Eyeshadow with DM Pigments

    Pigmented powdered products, such as eyeshadows, benefit from the use of dimethicone (DM)-treated pigments. These treated pigments offer good hydrophobic properties that improve wear, improve powder flow, help to produce smoother powders, and increase color development.
