Colour Cosmetics Guide - eBook

Formulate Vibrant, Stable, and Compliant Makeup.

The Colour Cosmetics Guide is a specialized 23-page technical manual for formulators expanding into makeup. Creating colour cosmetics requires precise pigment dispersion, binding systems, and strict regulatory adherence. This guide provides the foundational knowledge required to formulate foundations, lipsticks, and eye products.

What’s Inside:

• Pigment Chemistry & Compliance: Understand the difference between organic and inorganic pigments, lakes, dyes, and micas. Learn how to verify permitted colourants under global regulations.
• Dispersion Techniques: Master the art of wetting and milling pigments to prevent streaking, agglomeration, and colour shifting in your final product.
• Base Formulations: Learn the structural requirements for different formats: anhydrous systems (lipsticks, balms), emulsions (liquid foundations), and powders (eyeshadows).
• 3 Complete Worked Formulas: A Liquid Foundation Emulsion, a Nourishing Lipstick Bullet, and a Pressed Powder Eyeshadow.
• Troubleshooting Guide: Solutions for common issues like sweating in lipsticks, poor payoff in powders, and emulsion instability in liquid makeup.
