The patent-pending Smokey Eyes!

Eyes are the dominant features of the face especially during conversation. They reflect emotional states as well as indicating our health. Larger looking eyes were seen as a sign of beauty, and this has been the case for thousands of years. Inspection of ancient Egyptian statues and other artefacts clearly shows this. However, the black colorants used in the past were based on black antimony compounds which are poisonous. (Kohl, a black colorant was based on antimony trisulphide.) Today, safety is of prime importance, especially for cosmetics to be used around the eye area, because like the lips they are classed as mucous membranes. Among the products made for the beauty of eyes, mascaras were the most popular eye cosmetic, followed by eyeliners and pencils.

Among the black colorants used for eyes, the normal D&C Black 2 (Carbon black) available in market has tremendous formulation and regulatory issues. The powder is very difficult to disperse in water/oil & also it blows of significantly making the factory premises completely dirty. But now there is a solution of all that…. The patent pending Altered Black from KOEL Colors redefines the carbon black pigment with an enhanced and premium black effect, catering to all kinds of cosmetic & personal care products.
