Foundation, BB cream In times of ever-increasing image resolution that highlights every single pore, flawless skin is becoming increasingly important. Make-up manufacturers face the challenge of responding appropriately to this development. Zschimmer & Schwarz offers special ingredients for the perfect end product, which unites transfer resistance, adhesion, durability and hydrophobic properties.
Our SYNTRAN® polymers guarantee the transfer resistance of the make-up formula and ensure that it lasts all day long. Thanks to the dispersing and binding properties of polymers, the product can be distributed more evenly. Consequently, the final film is more homogeneous and cohesive. With our wax-grafted technology, we offer the customer an adequate playtime. The formula feels pleasant on the skin upon application and afterwards. In addition, the product feels weightless and prevents the pigments from coming off.
Emollients can be used in a variety of ways. First of all, they create a pleasant, smooth feel by nourishing and relaxing the skin. With a combination of different emollients, additional sensory effects can be achieved. In addition, emollients can enhance pigment dispersion and stability in colour cosmetics products.
Emulsifiers are surface-active substances that are used to combine two originally immiscible or only partially miscible liquids like water and oil. Gentle cleansing emulsions are mainly used in facial cleansing, for instance as make-up removers.
Our acrylic resins are clear polymers with dispersing properties. Pigments are added to the SYNTRAN® dispersants in order to produce stable pigment dispersions. The result: good colour properties and high gloss in cosmetic products. In addition, they ensure that the pigments remain well-dispersed – even if only small quantities are added.
Solubilisers are used to produce clear aqueous solutions of different oils, like perfumes or essential oils of various origins. Caring components can also be incorporated into make-up formulations.
Our ready-to-use pre-dispersed pigments enable manufacturers to mix pigmented formulas right away. Thanks to the choice of different ingredients, great colour strength and excellent coverage properties can be achieved – without compromising the properties of the film former in the end product, such as shine, adhesion and water resistance.
