OXIDES

Oxides – mineral pigments and white fillers for cosmetics

The oxides category covers mineral powders with high covering power and colour stability. Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) and zinc oxide (ZnO) are among the most widely used inorganic substances in colour cosmetics – they improve coverage and white opacity and help control shine, adhesion and a velvety finish.

The range includes water-based and oil-based TiO₂ dispersions for easier, lump-free incorporation, and powdered ZnO in a choice of pack sizes. Oxides are compatible with most raw materials for make-up, BB/CC creams, concealers, powders and both cream and liquid formulations.

Usage tip: for even dispersion and a smooth skin feel, pre-mix into the appropriate phase (water or oil) and homogenise; adjust the dosage to your goal – from light tinting to full coverage.

Titanium dioxide – white opacity and coverage

TiO₂ delivers high covering power and a white base for tinting. It comes in water-based and oil-based dispersions (50 g, 100 g, 500 g), which makes it easy to work into cream, gel and oil systems without dust or agglomeration. The result is simple processing and a uniform look without blotches.

Zinc oxide – mattifying and a smooth finish

ZnO is used for mattifying, whitening and improving the adhesion of powder blends. It suits powders, BB/CC creams and high-coverage creams; available in 50 g, 100 g, 500 g and 1 kg packs, with 10 kg and 25 kg for production. A versatile mineral with a smooth finish and good skin compatibility.

Formulation recommendations

Dispersion: dose the water-based TiO₂ dispersion into the water phase and the oil-based one into the oil phase; stir ZnO thoroughly into your chosen phase or binder. Stability: prevent agglomeration and settling – add gradually and use mechanical stirring or homogenisation. Tinting: TiO₂ acts as the white base; for coloured shades, combine it with iron oxides and mica (in their own categories).
