ImerCare® Velluto A natural mineral for high coverage powder foundations
- High coverage
- Spreads smoothly and evenly on skin

Sourced in the French Pyrenees, ImerCare® Velluto is a natural, premium talc which has been engineered using patented technology to obtain an innovative structure which provides enhanced opacity and homogeneity in cosmetics such as high coverage concealers, foundations and powders.

In pressed powders, ImerCare® Velluto provides:
- High to full coverage
- A velvety, unctuous feel and smooth satin finish
- Good homogeneity and spreadability on skin
- Good cohesion and compressibility
