Hi, how are you?
In this issue, we will introduce SUNPRESS-TR, a talc substitute ingredient developed in response to the growing consumer demand for talc-free makeup, and talc-free makeup formulations using it.
Talc has been used as a basic material in various formulations (blush, eyeshadow, foundation) for a long time. However, as asbestos contained in talc was designated as a carcinogen, the demand for talc-free formulations is increasing among consumers.
SUNPRESS-TR, developed as a talc substitute material, is characterized by its unique soft feel. This is confirmed by the fact that the coefficient of friction of SUNPRESS-TR is the lowest among coated talc, sericite, etc., when measured using a Rheo meter.
In addition, SUNPRESS-TR has excellent pressability, making it suitable for eyeshadow and pressed powder formulations. When we conducted drop testing using 100% of each material, SUNPRESS-TR endured the more drop test than the talc.
We developed an eyeshadow formulation using these characteristics of SUNPRESS-TR. This formulation uses SUNPRESS-TR at 43.5% to replace talc, making it strong against external impact and has a soft, velvety feel.
If you have any questions about SUNPRESS-TR, a talc substitute material with a Natural Origin Index value of 1 according to ISO 16128, please contact the contact information below.
