A Closer Look at Daito Kasei’s Diverse Cosmetic Ingredient Portfolio
70 Years of Innovation in Cosmetic Ingredients
Founded in 1950 with a focus on organic and inorganic pigments, Daito Kasei celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2020. Over the decades, the company has expanded into the full-scale development and production of cosmetic raw materials, consistently contributing to the evolution of the beauty industry. With a legacy rooted in innovation, Daito Kasei remains committed to becoming a specialist in powders and an expert in cosmetic ingredients.
Pigments: The Foundation of Vibrant Color
Daito Kasei’s pigment technologies focus on the tactile and functional aspects of cosmetic products. Its surface treated pigments are widely used in make-up products and powder foundations as they provide long-lasting effects, waterproofness, and moisture enabling formulators to create products with better performance. From an easier application, a longer wear time and a more luxurious feel, surface treatment of pigments boosts the aesthetic and functional attributes of product formulations.
Powders: Elevating Texture and Sensory Appeal
Daito Kasei’s powder technologies go beyond color, focusing on the feel and performance of cosmetic products. Daito Kasei’s treated and non-treated powders improve texture, oil absorption, and skin compatibility, helping formulators create products with a luxurious, smooth finish. Whether used for mattifying effects, soft focus, or improved spreadability, those powders elevate both the function and feel of formulations.
Dispersions: Streamlining Formulation
The portfolio of dispersions consists of pre-dispersed pigments and powders in various carriers, designed to simplify the formulation process. These products offer consistent color payoff, reduced processing time, and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic bases, from emulsions to anhydrous systems.
Functional Ingredients: Beyond Aesthetics
Daito Kasei’s functional ingredients deliver tangible benefits that enhance product performance. These include:
- Film formers for long-wear applications
- Sensory enhancers for a silky, smooth finish
- Emulsifiers for consistent texture and effectiveness
- Rheology modifiers with over 88% natural origin content
