What is beauty of colour cosmetic?

Beauty of Colour Cosmetics is a brand that combines the passion for makeup and the commitment to impact posivitely. Beyond beauty, our mission is to empower and highlight the magic in every woman by spreading powerful messages through our fun and girllish packaging.

What is the function of color in cosmetics?

Publisher Summary – This chapter defines that color can be described as a sense. There is a close relationship between cosmetics and color. The search for beauty is basic human instinct. Makeup cosmetics beautify the appearance by changing the color of the skin.

Color is an expression of the different energy levels in light, but it is not in itself a property of light. The light wavelengths are sensed by the visual receptors in the eye and the stimulation caused by each wavelength is expressed as color. The color of materials varies according to its composition and the type of light striking it.

The same material may appear to be a different color in sunlight, fluorescent lamp, and incandescent lamp. Coloring materials mixed with cosmetics can be broadly classified into organic color materials, also known as permitted colors, natural colors, and inorganic pigments.

What gives color to cosmetics?

a. Pigments – Pigments impart color to the final formulation. They can be of two types: absorption pigments of interference pigments. Absorption pigments give color by absorbing part of the visible light spectrum. Their observed color results from reflection of the nonabsorbed light spectrum.

• Combining absorption pigments needs to consider the reflected light colors in order to avoid overlap of reflected light wavelengths and absorbed wavelengths.
• This is termed “subtraction color composition.” It is illus- trated by a trichromatic schematic showing that blue is the result of light absorption in the yellow or that red is the resulting color of light absorption at red wavelengths.

Combining red and blue absorption pigments will yield a green shade instead of magenta. A good example of this color composition system is the CMY (cyan/ma- genta/yellow) system widespread in the printing industry. In a subtractive system, one starts from a neutral white light spectrum and each pigment removes a specific wavelength region from the white spectrum, leaving its remaining colors, Figure 26.3. RGB and CMY trichromic color composition systems. On the contrary, additive colors are obtained when pigments are the actual source of the color shade. Interference pigments act by selective reflection of a wavelength from the visible spectrum, and as such, pigments act similar to a light source.

1. In this system, using a red and blue light sources will give a magenta light.
2. In the additive composition system, one starts here with an empty light spectrum (dark).
3. Each interference pigment adds a source of light to this dark background, which color relates to the reflective interference wavelength.

An illustration of the differences is given in Figure 26.4. Fillers The purpose of fillers is to opacify formulations to adjust the degree of transparency from a high-coverage foundation to a sheer foundation without affecting the color shade of a formulation. Fillers can lighten a formulation (higher concentrations above 5%) and they can induce a thickening of formulations.

The most common fillers are titanium dioxides (white), talc (used less now), and silica particles. The particle size of fillers also influences the optical appearance of the product on skin. Finer particles will give a softer appearance than larger particles. Finally, silicon dioxide particles are sometimes used to bring a slight light-scattering effect in foundations applied to skin, resulting in a soft-focus effect.

They are often termed “light diffusion particles” and are generally coated for secondary purposes such as more hydrophilic/hydrophobic characteristics. The coating can also affect the opti- cal refractive index and enhance the light-diffusion effect. In addition, the coating generally prevents any sensitization risks when applied to sensitive skin.

Surfactants These ingredients are often dependent on the type and concentrations of pigments as well as fillers. Their role is to disperse and maintain a homogenous dispersion in the liquid form. Common surfactants include stearates, dimethicones, oleates, and polyoxyethylene ethers (nonionic). Thickeners Thickeners serve to bring more texture to the formulation while also reducing the risk of pigment sedimentation inside a bottle.

They are used in low amounts when needed, since the pigments and fillers will bring a formulation quite high in viscosity. Film formers Oils and silicones can be used to enhance spreadability on skin. Dimethicones are typical for spreadability while giving a dryer skin feel post-application.

These compounds will also help skin adhesion of the formulation during its first minute following application. A good compromise needs to be reached in terms of time of setting of the foundation on the skin and time allowed for a consumer to evenly spread a formulation over the desired area. Polymers Polymers are widely used in foundations for multiple reasons.

They will enhance film adhesion on skin (e.g., acrylate/C12–C22 alkylmethacrylate copolymer). Poly- mers also bring stability to the foundation film by maintaining pigments evenly dispersed while providing a degree of porosity and breathability (e.g., triacontanyl PVP).

As mentioned before, film breathability is very important for skin to avoid occlusion effects. Several polymers are often combined to ensure adhesion on skin and good retention of pigments over time of wear. This last benefit is responsible for wear resistance of a foundation to avoid any rub-off or staining of consumer clothes during the daily wear time of a foundation.

Lastly, polymers can also bring a mattifying effect via sebum absorption/trapping and thus prevent the development of skin shine and oily appearance. Additional ingredients In addition to water, pH adjusters, preservatives, and antioxidants fall in this category to address the stability of the final formulation and its good compatibility with skin.

What is color matching in cosmetics?

Instrumental measurement – Visual colour matching is still practiced today but colorimeters and spectrophotometers were introduced to make the process less subjective. The earliest colour-matching instrument used in the cosmetic industry was the Lovibond Tintometer, a colorimeter introduced by Joseph Lovibond in 1893.

Originally made to determine the quality of beer, Lovibond Tintometers were used across a wide variety of industries including cosmetics from the 1930s onwards. The Tintometer allowed a technician to compare a sample cosmetic with a combination of coloured glass slides. By using combinations of differently coloured slides of varying intensities the observer could create a colour match between the colour from the slides and the colour of the cosmetic.

That specific combination of slides would then be recorded as a standard to be used for comparison with future batches of cosmetics of the same shade. Above: 1937 Lovibond Tintometer measurements for Max Factor’s Panchromatic Make-up (Factor, 1937, p.55). Lovibond Tintometers still required a good eye for colour. The later spectrophotometers removed the subjective elements of the procedure by comparing light from the test sample with the standard electronically.

What is white cosmetic?

What Are White Label Cosmetics? – White label cosmetics are high-quality, off-the-shelf products that are formulated by a manufacturer before being labelled with your very own branding and sold as your own products. A manufacturer may supply the same cosmetic products to various beauty and cosmetic businesses, but each business will have its own labelling on the products.

What is color theory in the beauty industry?

Complementary Colours: – Colours which are the opposite on the colour wheel are called complementary colours. These are the colours that neutralise unwanted tones or cancel other colours by mixing them together. In makeup, the use of complementary colours will help you to correct and conceal unwanted skin tones.

What are blue cosmetics?
