Safe Coloring Support for Home and Personal Care

Clariant has announced a complete line of Cosmenyl 100 next-generation aqueous pigment dispersions containing a state-of-the-art protection system. Clariant proactively optimized its product range to meet the latest legal requirements for cosmetic products under European Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, which restricts the use of preservatives. The state-of-the-art protection system for the Cosmenyl 100 series contains no ortho-phenylphenol (O-PP), methylisothiazolinone (MIT), or parabens. The series is included in at least one approved use list for cosmetic colorants for the EU, USA or Japan and meets strict microbiological specifications.

Second, in these uncertain times we find ourselves in, the idea of more consumers seeking comfort by being kind to themselves is becoming more popular. Clariant Colorants can also help bring contemporary home décor colors to a hand soap or laundry detergents, or capture rising cosmetic color trends for makeup. Our updated product range can help formulators safely and vibrantly color their liquid, powder or paste products," she says.

Clariant has completed the updated series with two new yellows and a carmine well-suited to creating warm yellows, oranges and deeper tones predicted for 2021 color trends [1].

The next-generation Cosmenyl 100 pigment dispersions provide the benefits of easy flow and pumpability already valued by customers. The series offers various color shades suitable for coloring a wide range of Personal Care products including soaps, shampoos, toothpastes and eye cosmetics. The product range is also suitable for coloring attractive colored detergents and cleaning agents meeting the latest color trends, as well as for coloring home and fabric care applications. The pigment dispersions comply with EU detergents regulations. For more information, Clariant can be contacted during the Virtual Sepawa Congress or via the Clariant website.
