About Us

MakingCosmetics.com Inc. was founded in 1997. The company is specializing in ingredients for making personal care products and decorative cosmetics. We offer a wide range of cosmetic ingredients, raw materials and tools for all those who want to formulate cosmetics for personal or commercial use. We also provide professional help and information including free formulas, recipe books, newsletters, articles and a free email service.

We are an exclusive internet-based mail order business delivering goods worldwide. Our customers include small cosmetic manufacturers, spas, pharmacies, medical doctors, beauty studios, hair & nail studios, and individuals interested in producing their own cosmetics and toiletries.

We are proud being one of the very first company in the US having introduced this exciting hobby in the US. Although many competitors have arisen meanwhile having copied (and still are copying) our concept, recipes, products, informative pages, and our ideas, we believe that knowledge, tradition, and years of experience can not be copied, and that innovation rather than imitation is the key to keep the competitive edge and offer the best service for our customers.

News & Facts

Zinc Oxides: Which One is Right for You?

Regular zinc oxide has a particle size of >200 nm (nanometer), a visible whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, gives great coverage in makeup products and lip balms, and offers good protection in baby care products.
Micronized zinc oxide has a particle size of <200nm (mean 86nm), has a minimal whitening effect on the skin, is water dispersible, offers superior sun protection but does not offer coverage in makeup products.
Micronized zinc oxide coated with silicone offers basically the same features as non-coated micronized zinc oxide but is easier to disperse in oils, and works well in formulas containing carbomers.
