Cosmetics and Personal Care
Tulco Inc develops surface modified precipitated silica additives for cosmetic and personal care formulations where consistency, stability, and controlled performance are essential. With more than forty years of experience in silica surface modification, Tulco supports formulators working with products that require reliable processing behavior and predictable results across both production and end use.
​
Tulco treated precipitated silicas are engineered to function effectively across a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations. By modifying silica surface chemistry, Tulco products help control rheology, viscosity, and dispersion in creams, lotions, gels, powders, and other formulation types.
This contributes to improved texture, uniform appearance, and consistent application characteristics.
Performance Benefits in Cosmetic and Personal Care Applications
In cosmetic and personal care systems, Tulco applies Advanced Surface Treated Silicas and Colloidal Surface Active Agents to support stable suspension of active ingredients, pigments, and functional components. Improved dispersion and formulation stability reduce settling and separation during storage, supporting longer shelf life and more consistent performance at the point of use. These properties are especially important in formulations where visual uniformity and product feel are critical.
​
Tulco treated silicas also contribute to enhanced sensory and performance characteristics in finished products. Controlled thickening and stabilization support smooth application, consistent coverage, and reliable product behavior over time. These attributes allow formulators to maintain desired product aesthetics while improving processing efficiency and formulation stability.
​
Tulco silica solutions are used across a range of cosmetic and personal care applications, including skin care products, personal care formulations, and specialty cosmetic systems. Their compatibility with multiple formulation approaches allows for flexible integration into both standard products and highly application specific designs.
