FDA Approval Concerning Usage of Pearlescent Pigments in Cosmetics

The FDA has approved the utilization of pearlescent pigments and effect-enhancing pigments in cosmetics and personal care products. It has also approved the use of mica flakes coated with titanium dioxide and other colorants in cosmetic products. The mica-based pearlescent pigments are identified to be free from certain harmful substances like lead, arsenic, and mercury. These pigments have low conductivity for heat and electricity, have high acid and alkali resistance, and are stable even at very high temperatures, which make them a preferred choice for paints & coatings.

However, stringent government regulations along with high costs involved in ensuring regulatory compliance are expected to hamper growth over the forecast period.
