Pigments for permanent makeup exfoliated: what to do?

Your inks do not "break down".

We get a lot of similar questions, but as a rule, the question itself is asked with an error. Your inks do not "break down"

The process you observe is called sedimentation — the settling of solid pigment particles in a liquid medium. This is not a breakdown. Particles settle evenly without violating the homogeneity of the dispersed system.

Simply put: the particles settle all together, the color and properties are preserved, there is no multi-colored sediment.

Such a process can be observed in our main line of inks — BROWS and LIPS — due to their complex alcohol composition. This is not a problem. Rosin, the purpose of which many people don't understand, simply helps to normalize the suspension by simply shaking the bottle. This is one of its functions. In different compositions, these auxiliary components may differ. It can be: silicon dioxide, shellac, PVP, povidone and others.

Delamination is the result of a technological error

Stratification (separation into layers), in turn, is an uncontrolled process. As a rule, this is the result of a technological error in production, when pigment particles are incorrectly bonded together and with the liquid medium. When separation occurs, at the bottom of the bottle you can see those particles that "fell out" from the finished product. If we are talking about brown colors for eyebrows, then at the bottom of the bottle you can see yellow, orange and even white particles of pigments.

Fortunately, this problem is quite rare.

In the photo above you can see what separation looks like. This is our failed experiment—an attempt to mix inks like Pure Uncut with each other. Studies and experiments on this type of inks proved that such inks cannot be mixed with each other. They need to be used separately, so they are only suitable for colored art tattoos.
