Cathay Industries Cosmetic Ingredients
The ingredient and material requirements of cosmetics are largely similar to those of pharmaceuticals. Both require exceptional consistency and batch-to-batch uniformity, complete accounting for all ingredients present and tailored products that can deliver specific functions without interfering with active ingredients or otherwise undermining the aesthetics or efficacy of the end result. Cathay’s cosmetic ingredients range includes:
- An extraordinary variety of total colour solutions spanning powders, dispersants, dyes and pigments, natural and artificial, water soluble and water insoluble, with FDA and other regulatory body certification as applicable. Cathay products are particularly good for delivering vibrant colours without compromising efficacy or ease of use, making them exceptionally popular for use in lipstick, nail polish, cosmetic pencils and similar products.
- Scents and flavours, like sweeteners, citrus and mint oil, as well as cost-effective practical alternatives such as ethyl vanillin, sucralose and many more.
- A complete selection of manufacturing additives, preservatives and raw ingredients.
- Functional blends of high quality ingredients and compressible granulations, manufactured for outstanding homogeneity and consistency, suitable for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and dietary supplements.
