Encapsulated pigments for darker skin tones that "increase efficacy" of UV filters
Tagra has recently launched DeeperCaps, which are encapsulated pigments designed for use in hybrid skincare-colour cosmetics made for darker skin tones.
The company said these can be combined with UV filters in formulations to increase the filters’ efficacy and deliver higher SPF protection and they are paired with Shea Butter for intense moisturisation. It also claimed the technology removes the need to add more iron oxide pigments to formulations.
Formulators can use high levels of pigments that are only broken upon application, without affecting the stability or texture, that will offer a skin tone match with no “white-cast” effect.
