Dispersions

One of the most difficult steps in the manufacturing of color cosmetics is preparing the pigment dispersion. This process is time consuming and requires substantial capital investment in trained personnel and grinding machinery such as three roll mills. Dispersing a pigment correctly prevents color variation, separation and instability. Successful dispersion eliminates costs related to production delays for the color cosmetic producer.

Sensient Cosmetic Technologies offers a wide range of pigment dispersions using various carriers including castor oil, mineral oil, propylene glycol and glycerin. Combinations of carriers can be applied for specific end use products whether anhydrous or aqueous based. Sensient's Cosmetic Pigment Dispersions meet color production standards, which reduces the guesswork and production costs associated with dispersing the pigment on site.
