What Are These Ingredients?
Vitamins are active compounds that deliver skin-repairing, anti-aging, antioxidant, and brightening effects.
Opacifiers are used to make clear products appear creamy, milky, or uniformly colored, often used in lotions and shampoos.
Pearlescents are ingredients that create a shimmering, pearl-like appearance in shampoos, conditioners, and bath products for a luxurious finish.
Together, these ingredients not only enhance product performance but also improve visual appeal and consumer perception. At Amjad and Zarar Nuc, we ensure consistent quality, regulatory compliance, and wide compatibility with personal care formulations.
- Types of Vitamin, Opacifier & Pearlescent Chemicals We Offer
- 1. Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate)
- A powerful antioxidant used in skin and hair care formulations to fight oxidative stress and support skin barrier function. It protects against environmental damage, helps retain moisture, and improves skin softness and elasticity. Vitamin E is commonly used in serums, creams, sunscreens, hair oils, and after-sun products. It also extends the shelf life of oil-based formulations.
- 2. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid & Derivatives)
- An essential skin-brightening and anti-aging active, Vitamin C helps reduce hyperpigmentation, boost collagen synthesis, and protect skin from free radicals. Available in stable derivatives like Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbyl Glucoside, it is suitable for serums, face creams, and under-eye treatments. It improves skin radiance and is often used in anti-blemish and glow-boosting products.
- 3. Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)
- A multifunctional vitamin known for its skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, and brightening properties. Niacinamide is widely used in acne care, pigmentation-reducing serums, pore-refining creams, and anti-aging formulas. It helps improve skin tone, strengthens the skin barrier, and controls excess oil. Also used in scalp care to boost circulation and support hair growth.
4. Titanium Dioxide (As Opacifier)
- Used as an effective opacifier and UV filter, Titanium Dioxide gives cosmetic products a rich, creamy, and uniform appearance. It reflects light and provides a smooth visual texture in shampoos, conditioners, sunscreens, and creams. Micronized forms are often used for translucency, while non-nano types are preferred for physical sunscreens and opaque formulations.
- 5. Glycol Stearate / EGMS (Ethylene Glycol Monostearate)
- A common opacifier and pearlizing agent used in shampoos, body washes, and creams. It provides a shimmering, pearly appearance and also functions as a mild emulsifier and skin conditioning agent. It helps create a luxurious visual effect while enhancing formulation texture and feel. Easily dispersible in hot and cold processes.
- 6. Mica & Pearl Pigments
- Mica is a natural mineral used to give cosmetic products a sparkling or pearlescent appearance. When coated with titanium dioxide or iron oxides, it creates different effects like gold, silver, or iridescent shimmer. These are ideal for face washes, shimmer lotions, soaps, and premium personal care products. Mica is safe, stable, and available in various particle sizes.
- 7. Stearic Acid (Pearlizing Aid & Consistency Agent)
- Stearic Acid contributes to the pearlescent effect when used in combination with glycol stearates. It also improves the body and thickness of emulsions and is used in shaving creams, soaps, and conditioners. It gives a soft, white, and glossy appearance to formulations and adds creaminess to foam textures.
