Key Tagra ingredients

  • Cameleon™ PTW / Cameleon™ Red – CameleonCaps™ are globally approved encapsulated pigments that do not require a dedicated production line for pigments or colour cosmetics. They are durable during formulation and scale-up, yet break easily beneath the fingertips on application for a dramatic and consistent colour transformation. CameleonCaps™ keep the pigments hidden within formulations, helping maintain a bright white, clean appearance in emulsions, and once applied can act as a visual marker of fresh active release. Skin care is easily converted to colour cosmetics, and colour cosmetics become easy to produce with free-flowing, dust-free powders: less time colour matching, grinding and cleaning, and a platform for innovative multifunctional skin care that meets the highest purity standards and specifications of global regulations.
