Rona: a name to know

As you discover what our portfolio of effect pigments, functional fillers, and active ingredients
has to offer, you’ll come across one name again and again: Rona. This is the umbrella
brand for all of our cosmetic products. The name dates back to 1975, when Merck acquired
the Rona Pearl line in the U.S. This expansion unlocked the door to the most important
cosmetics market in the world at that time.
You’ll find the Rona brand throughout our products for skin care, decorative, and personal
care cosmetics.

 Pick your favorite effects –
create artistic compositions

Big, vivid color, or understated yet

elegant shading? A dewy appearance,
or plenty of metallic luster? Whichever
look you want your cosmetic products
to create, we have the effect pigments
to help you deine it, down to the last
detail.

Effect pigments: imagine it, shape it
With over 50 years of experience in manufacturing effect pigments,
we’ve established ourselves as a market leader in effect pigments for
cosmetics. What’s in it for you: an endless array of opportunities to add
color, luster, shine, and shimmer to your cosmetics, reflecting all the
latest color trends and schemes. Opt for high drama with brilliant color
travel pigments, for example, or a more subtle look with interference
pigments. Raise your shimmer quotient with silverwhite pigments; if
you prefer rich, luscious color, check out our color pigments. No matter
which look you choose, we can help you achieve the perfect finish.

Just as the shield is the symbol of protection, our ingredients offer
perfect protection against sun, time and insects to keep skin young
and healty. Therefore, protection is our mission.

With the protective TOOLS of FUNCTIONAL COSMETICS you can create

the perfect look for any trend and lifestyle, regardless of skin tone, type
or age: Light Protection, Skin Perfection and Insect Repellents.

Active ingredients for Functional fillers:

business growth
Our active ingredient portfolio comprises ingredients for light
protection, skin perfection and insect repellents. They will en-
able you to create innovative products with outstanding claims
and excellent efficacy. Our RonaCare® line, for example, offers
you a variety of options for protecting skin and helping to
keep its youthful appearance. You can also address heightened
concerns about UV protection with our Eusolex® product range
of organic, inorganic and encapsulated UV filters as well as our
inorganic UV-TITAN filters. Ready to embrace the eco-friendly
trend? Check out our spectrum of substances that are either
natural, derived from natural sources, or nature-identical.
a multi-tasking medium
Our RonaFlair® fillers do multiple jobs at once: enhance
wear characteristics, improve skin feel, expand application
properties – some even diffuse light on the skin, making
it look smoother. Choose from fillers based on spheres,
platelets, and combinations of these. It all depends on what
effect you’re aiming for: mattifying; texture improvement;
skin correction / soft focus. To help you navigate our range of
functional fillers – the widest on the market, in fact – we’ve
created the RonaFlair® Filler Finder.

Additives for the finishing touch

Even the most sophisticated finished cosmetic products need
basic raw materials that help your products do their job.
That’s where our additives come in. These cover organic and
inorganic salts, acids, and other materials.
