High Coverage & Color Correction:
- Primary pigments are Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891) and Iron Oxides (CI 77491, CI 77492, CI 77499). These provide opaque coverage to conceal dark circles, blemishes, redness, and discoloration. Multiple shades in a palette allow for precise color correction (e.g., peach/orange for blue/purple, green for redness).
Creamy, Blendable Texture:
- Achieved through a complex blend of:
- Waxes (Microcrystalline Wax, Paraffin, Polyethylene): Provide structure, stability, and a creamy-solid form.
- Emollients & Oils (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Paraffinum Liquidum, Tri(ethylhexanoin)glyceryl, Diisostearyl Malate, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, etc.): Provide slip, smoothness, blendability, and skin-conditioning. They prevent the formula from feeling dry or cakey.
- Silicones (Phenyl Trimethicone, Lauryl PEG-10 Tris(trimethylsiloxy)silylethyl Dimethicone, C30-45 Alkyl Methicone, Dimethicone derivatives): Offer exceptional slip, glide, water-resistance, and a silky, pore-blurring finish. They help the product spread easily and evenly.
Long-Wearing & Transfer-Resistant:
- Supported by:
- Film-forming polymers (Acrylates/Stearyl Acrylate/Dimethicone Methacrylate Copolymer, Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer).
- High levels of waxes and silicones.
- Powders (Silica Silylate, Synthetic Fluorphlogopite) which help absorb excess oil and set the product.
Smooth Application & Adherence:
- Enhanced by:
- Silica Silylate: A silky powder improving slip and texture.
- Clay thickeners (Stearalkonium Hectorite, Disteardimonium Hectorite): Help suspend pigments, prevent oil separation, and provide structure/thixotropy (becomes fluid upon application pressure).
- Polyglyceryl-6 Polyricinoleate, Trihydroxystearin: Emulsifiers/thickeners improving texture stability and pigment dispersion.
Skin Conditioning:
- Contains emollients and oils that help soften the skin and prevent the concealer from emphasizing dry patches. Tocopherol (Vitamin E) provides antioxidant benefits.
Preservation & Stability:
- Dehydroacetic Acid: A preservative.
- BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene): An antioxidant to prevent oils/fats from going rancid.
- Aluminum Hydroxide: Often used as a pH adjuster, stabilizer, or opacifying agent.
- Propylene Carbonate: A solvent/plasticizer that can also help stabilize the formula and improve pigment dispersion.
The TIMAGE Jady Creamy Concealer Palette embodies a sophisticated understanding of both material science and human need. It leverages complex chemistry to solve fundamental aesthetic challenges:
- Creating Imperceptible Perfection: It aims to enhance without erasing individuality, to correct without masking.
- Harmonizing Opposites: It balances seemingly contradictory properties: solidity vs. creaminess, coverage vs. natural finish, durability vs. blendability.
- Empowering the User: It’s reliable, versatile to give the user control over their appearance with relative ease.
