DeeperCaps™ double-layer encapsulated pigments give dark skin tones a true color match with no white cast; 18 shades with Red/Yellow/Black ratios.
Formulating Breakthrough for Dark Skin Cosmetics
Addressing the gap in dark skin cosmetics: Despite advances in the beauty industry, people with dark skin tones still struggle to find cosmetic products that truly match their skin. Many formulations rely on limited color ranges, often leaving a chalky, white residue on the skin.
The need for better formulation: Current offerings often fail to blend naturally with deeper skin tones, highlighting the ongoing challenge for brands to create inclusive products that meet diverse needs.
Tagra's solution is DeeperCaps™: As a leader in microencapsulation technology, Tagra Biotechnologies introduces DeeperCaps™, a breakthrough solution that enables brands to transform existing product lines into essential cosmetics for people with deeper skin tones.
No white-cast effect: DeeperCaps™ uses a sophisticated double-layer microcapsule structure to deliver seamless coverage without any white-cast effect, ensuring a perfect match with natural skin tones.
Versatile applications: Beyond foundation, DeeperCaps™ technology is compatible with a wide range of formulations, including gels, liquids, powders, creams, and skin care products, opening the door for innovation across categories.
Cost-effective innovation: DeeperCaps™ allows brands to expand their offerings for diverse skin tones without requiring significant investment, making inclusivity more accessible in the beauty market.
