What We Love About Our Principal Partner
Imerys’ range combines high-performance natural minerals with a strong commitment to sustainability. We love that these ingredients are 100% of natural mineral origin and that many are COSMOS and Ecocert certified, making them ideal for clean and green formulations. They deliver outstanding sensory performance and functionality—from oil absorption and mattifying effects to silky textures and a soft, dry touch—while also serving as effective alternatives to synthetic polymers and microplastics. With sustainable sourcing and environmentally responsible processing that favors heat treatments over chemicals, ImerCare ingredients bring both innovation and eco-consciousness to personal care formulations.
