Cosmetic Dispersions
Mineral and organic pigments can be pre-dispersed in a liquid medium to improve their introduc-
tion in cosmetic finished products without grinding. Cost-effective solution for customers, Sensient’s
expertise offers many standard ranges of dispersions in aqueous or oily phase, dedicated to va-
rious applications (lipstick, foundation, mascara, soap or toothpaste).
Regulations
The pigments used in our dispersions are all cosmetic grade
pigments that comply with the EC Cosmetic Directive 76/768
of 27.07.1976 (included amendments), and/or FDA regulations.
FDA regulations do not allow the use of the certified batch
number of the pigments in the final dispersions.
For more details on regulatory issues, please contact our
technical support.
