pigment dispersants
Xicare™ Dispersants enable water-based emulsions for daily wear SPF and color cosmetic formulations. The Xicare Copolymer disperses untreated metal oxides in the water phase which eliminates the need for synthetic, oily, or heavy dispersants. Thereby supporting personal care market trends, such as efficient manufacturing and silicone-free ingredients. Xicare Dispersants allow for even coverage while providing an improved and lightweight feel for all-day wear.
Xicare 1205
Xicare™ 1205 Aqueous Dispersant works by dispersing pigments in the water phase which enables silicone-free formulations and provides a wider range of aesthetic possibilities. In a side-by-side draw-down comparison, a formulation containing Xicare 1205 demonstrated uniform distribution upon application versus a benchmark product. For added ease of formulation, Xicare Pigment Dispersants do not require heat or high shear which may lower manufacturing costs.
