ImerCare® cosmetics is a range of engineered minerals for the cosmetics industry, derived from 100% natural diatomaceous earth, kaolin, mica, perlite, calcium carbonate, calcium silicate and talc*.
Our experts engineer these minerals to provide exactly the right properties in terms of exfoliation, mattifying, opacity, transparency, coverage, rheology, absorption and skin feel.
The ImerCare range is ideal for use in toiletries, color cosmetics, make-up, skincare and haircare products, plus toothpastes, body powders and deodorants.
All our ImerCare grades are natural, high quality, chemically inert and offer good skin tolerance. They are also Cosmos and Ecocert approved (unless otherwise stated).

Imerys Kaolins de Bretagne in southwest Brittany hosted an open day to commemorate its 120th anniversary, bringing together the general public, site employees and their families, customers, representatives of local associations, local elected officials and other important regional stakeholders. The day also marked another significant milestone for the company's future, since it coincides with the renewal in 2023 of the prefectural order authorizing Imerys to continue its mining activities at Kaolin de Bretagne for a further 28 years.
In the pursuit of healthy white teeth, Imerys has found that toothpaste that combines kaolin and delicately engineered perlite provides highly effective dental care and meets consumers’ preference for natural ingredients.
The mineral perlite is an effective replacement for microbeads in scrubs and shower gels – not only for its exfoliating performance, but for reducing plastic pollution in oceans.
