Gelest Sericite HS (SAA-HSA) is a white to off-white powder treated with disodium carboxyethyl siliconate. This pigment is used in various color cosmetic formulations. The hydrophilic treatment allows for superior dispersion in water for high loading. This pigment has a higher tinting strength and a reduced tendency for color flotation and plate-out.
