ColorGLAM®, the evolution of coated pigments

Focused on sustainability and color performance, ROELMI HPC unveils advanced ester-coated pigments ColorGLAM®, engineered for superior color release, heat stability, and regulatory compliance through EU Green Chemistry & Pelargonic Acid Technology 

COLORGAM® BY ROELMI HPC SET NEW STANDARD IN COLOR INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY 

With a strong commitment to sustainability and high-impact color performance, ROELMI HPC introduces advanced pigment solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of manufacturers worldwide. At the heart of this innovation is the ColorGLAM® portfolio ester-coated pigments engineered to deliver superior color release, enhanced heat stability, and full regulatory compliance across global markets. 

ColorGLAM® embodies the perfect balance between performance and circular economy principles. These free-flowing pigments are functionalized with Tripelargonin, an ultra-lightweight, sustainable ester derived from upcycling processes. This strategic choice reflects ROELMI HPC’s vision of combining technical excellence with environmental responsibility, offering formulators a solution that enhances both product quality and sustainability credentials. 

The range includes: 

  • ColorGLAM® Light TiO (INCI: Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), C8-12 Acid Triglyceride) 
  • ColorGLAM® Light YellowOx (INCI: Yellow Oxide (CI 77492), C8-12 Acid Triglyceride) 
  • ColorGLAM® Light RedOx (INCI: Red Oxide (CI 77491), C8-12 Acid Triglyceride) 
  • ColorGLAM® Light BlackOx (INCI: Black Oxide (CI 77499), C8-12 Acid Triglyceride) 
  • ColorGLAM® Light Red7 (INCI: CI 15850:1 (Red 7), C8-12 Acid Triglyceride) 

THE REASON BEHIND THE CHOICE OF A SUSTAINABLE ESTER

The decision to utilize a pelargonic acid–derived ester is rooted in performance science. Testing demonstrates that this sustainable ester provides a highly effective pigment-coating system, creating a unique synergy between technical efficiency and refined sensory properties. Its medium polarity establishes an optimal chemical bridge between the pigment surface and the cosmetic matrix, improving compatibility within formulations. 

Moreover, its exceptional wetting capacity promotes efficient pigment stabilization and prevents agglomeration, an essential factor in achieving consistent, vibrant color payoff. The ester’s balanced spreading profile further enhances color development while imparting a sophisticated, lightweight skin feel that elevates the overall sensory experience. 

ESTER-COATED PIGMENTS, THE ADDED VALUES 

The added value of ester-coated pigments lies in their enhanced lipophilic affinity. By integrating seamlessly into the oily phase, these pigments simplify the formulation process, reduce dispersion time, and ensure uniform color distribution. The result is brilliant, long-lasting color with a superior, weightless touch. 

With ColorGLAM® ROELMI HPC demonstrates that scientific precision and sustainability can coexist harmoniously. By merging advanced material engineering with circular economy principles, the company sets a new benchmark for responsible beauty—where performance, safety, and environmental awareness converge to shape the future of cosmetic color.
