The key to determining the color retention rate of permanent makeup
Apr 01,2026
Safety: The primary prerequisite
Since permanent makeup pigments are applied directly to the skin's surface, their safety is the foundation of all standards. If there are any safety concerns, even the best coloring results are meaningless. To assess pigment safety, three core indicators need to be considered:

Microbial Control: Excessive levels of bacteria, mold, and other microorganisms in pigments can lead to skin infections and inflammation. High-quality pigments effectively inhibit microbial growth and meet national cosmetic production hygiene standards by adding compliant preservatives and strictly controlling the production environment (such as sterile workshops). Heavy Metal and Harmful Substance Content: The selection of pigments directly determines the content of heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and arsenic) and harmful substances. Higher-priced, high-quality pigments typically use cosmetic-grade or even medical-grade pigments, avoiding excessive levels of harmful substances at the source; while low-priced, inferior pigments often use industrial-grade pigments, which may pose potential health risks if left on the skin for a long time. Allergen Control: While allergic reactions are difficult to completely avoid, high-quality pigments strictly adhere to cosmetic raw material standards, rigorously screening and controlling allergenic ingredients to keep the probability of allergies below 3%.
Biocompatibility: The core factor determining color retention
The biocompatibility of pigments refers to their compatibility with human skin tissue, which directly affects color retention stability and skin tolerance, and needs to be verified through long-term experimental observation.

Pigment Stability: High-quality pigments, once implanted in the skin, remain stable within the body's physiological environment. They will not exhibit significant discoloration (such as redness, bluening, or yellowing) due to skin metabolism or environmental changes, nor will they be rapidly metabolized, ensuring a long-lasting and natural permanent makeup effect and reducing the frequency of touch-ups.
Skin Tolerance: Good pigments will not trigger skin rejection reactions such as redness, itching, or abnormal scabbing. This requires a scientifically balanced pigment composition that conforms to the physiological characteristics of human skin,
avoiding skin damage caused by irritating ingredients, which could affect color retention and customer experience.
Physicochemical Properties: Key details affecting color application.

Optical performance: The core aspects are coverage and tinting strength. Pigments with strong coverage can effectively cover existing pigmentation or blemishes on the skin, presenting a pure target color; pigments with excellent tinting strength require only a small amount to achieve the ideal coloring effect, reducing the burden on the skin and improving operational efficiency.

Chemical stability: This includes lightfastness, weather resistance, and acid and alkali resistance. Pigments with strong lightfastness can resist ultraviolet radiation and avoid fading when exposed to sunlight for a long time; good acid and alkali resistance allows the pigment to remain stable in the acidic or alkaline environment of human skin, prolonging the color retention time.
Dispersibility: Pigments with good dispersibility can quickly blend with the thinner during the mixing process to form a uniform color paste, avoiding particle agglomeration, ensuring smooth coloring during operation, and ultimately presenting a delicate and natural permanent makeup effect.
