Talc

Talc is naturally occured hydrous magnesium silicate.
The crystal sructure of pure talc is Mg(OH)2 which is sandwiched between two SiO2 sheets.
Each layer is electrically neutralized. Adjacent layers are held together only by weak Van der Waals force.
The weak Van der Waals forces between the layers in the crystal can be easily overcome by rubbing.
When you rub talc, those Mg(OH)2 and silica layers slide over each other, thus creating a slippery feel.
This is one of the reasons it is used in cosmetics.

Our products are compatible with Japanese Standards of Quasi-Drug Ingredients.

*New Products
GAHC dan GAHT-40 are manufactured by special material and manufacturing procedure.
Because of their particle shape, they have special glaze and smoother feeling than our former products.

Surface-treated Talc
In cosmetics field, generally talcum powder has been used to give a smooth feeling to the cosmetics final application. Our silicon-treated Talc can provide more smoother feeling, and coupled with the high water-repellency of the silicone treatment, it is possible to improve the sustainability of the cosmetics.

We are a vertical-integrated manufacturer where production from raw materials to the finished products are done internally, thus we are able to provide you with a stable quality products. In addition, with our combination of technologies in raw materials, particle size control, fine selection of treatment agents and controls of treatment volume, we are confident in providing you with the best selection of products that will suit your requirements.
