Published: 25-Apr-2017

At New York Society of Cosmetic Chemists Suppliers’ Day 2017, Imerys Performance Additives (booth 1460) will be showcasing two recent developments to its all-natural ImerCare mineral range:

ImerCare Opaque is a new, eco-friendly, kaolin-based solution that imparts opacity and whiteness to gel and shampoo formulations. Unlike synthetic opacifiers, ImerCare Opaque is neither pH nor ionic-surfactant sensitive. A one-size-fits-all solution, ImerCare Opaque confers a rich, creamy optical effect to shower gels and shampoos, giving them a luxurious feel.

ImerCare Opaline is a premium-grade talc that has been engineered to obtain a particle thickness, shape and size distribution which imparts a pearlescent effect to shower gels and shampoos. ImerCare Opaline can be used at all pH levels and with all ingredients— even ionic—making it a one-size-fits-all solution. Its natural, highly pearlescent effect enhances consumer perception of well-being and luxury.


ImerCare Opaline is a high performance, 100% natural, talc-based pearlising agent for shower gels and shampoos.
