Gelest GIA-SRA

Chemical Family
OxidesSilicaSilicates

Gelest Chromium Oxide Green SR (GIA-SRA) is a green color powder treated with trimethylsiloxysilicate. The hydroxyl-terminated silsesquioxane network in the coating improves adhesion to skin and hair, making it ideal for use in color cosmetic formulations. This pigment is the best candidate for use in long-wearing and water-resistant makeup.
