In addition to providing superior matting, ImerCare Matte is a natural alternative to synthetic polymer matting agents used in cosmetics and therefore strongly aligned with market and regulatory trends governing the use of plastics in cosmetics. Replacing microplastic additives in make-up powders also helps reduce the CO2 footprint of gel creams and liquid foundation formulations and ensures no plastics enter sewage systems. 
As such, ImerCare Matte has been awarded the Imerys Pioneer Certificate, our top sustainability rating for products and services, which denotes outstanding sustainability performance compared to the reference on the market. Pioneer certified products provide the highest social and environmental contribution to the downstream value chain, while demonstrating a low environmental impact in their production phase.
