Omya Consumer Goods focused on Omyaskin® minerals for decorative applications at this year’s in-cosmetics Global. The unique composition of these pure, bright minerals originating in Provence (France), and their high porosity and large surface area, allows for enhanced textures and upgraded effectiveness in various applications. The ingredient offers maximum absorbency qualities, strong opacity for perfect coverage and leaves a pleasant skin feel. For skincare formulations, Omyacare® natural calcium carbonate particles are available in various sizes and exterior structures, therefore suiting multiple purposes. The flexibility of both ingredients was demonstrated in application examples such as lipsticks, foundations, eye-shadow, body lotions and soap bars.

Particle composition of the Omyaskin® range consists of Calcium Carbonate and hydroxyapatite, ideally suited to absorb sebum, reduce drying time and deliver a matt finish. In decorative formula, incorporated pigments can unfold perfect color and coverage. Added in small amounts, Omyaskin® advances compressibility of powder applications as well as smoothness and soft skin feel. The COSMOS and NaTrue certified particles can replace kaolin and substantially support the performance of titanium dioxide in terms of coverage.
