![]() ![]() Most are a form of elemental carbon that are also used in rubber products (mainly tires), paints, plastics, coatings, printer ink, pens and other printing applications. Carbon black is a material produced by the incomplete combustion (soot) of heavy petroleum products such as FCC tar, coal tar and ethylene cracking tar. Most carbon black pigments are a form of elemental carbon that are also used in rubber products (mainly tires), paints, plastics, coatings, printer ink, pens and other printing applications.Ĭarbon Black: The most common color used on the scalp are pigments in the carbon black category (including grey washes), most of which are carcinogenic. NOTE: The carriers in Weston’s pigments are all plant-based and none of the listed toxic carriers below are used:īeware of these toxic ingredients that are used for carriers in most tattoo and scalp micropigmentation applications: Among the most popular application for these carriers are tattoo/SMP-MS inks. Carrier ingredients can contain dangerous substances such as antifreeze, formaldehyde, methanol, denatured alcohols, and other aldehydes. The carrier is also meant to inhibit the growth of pathogens, to prevent clumping of pigment, and to aid in application under the skin. The carrier is the liquid(s) that is added to the pigment to keep it evenly distributed in a fluid. Let’s discuss the first component of inks/pigments. These inks/pigments consist of two basic parts carrier and pigment. I am expecting that SMP-MS providers will now appropriate my information from this article and apply this to their own inks/pigments to appear educated on their ingredients. In many cases, the color for your SMP-MS is an unscrupulous hiding place for animal products and other unsavory ingredients. However, not all ink/pigment is created equal. Whether it is called SMP ink/pigment, permanent cosmetic pigment/ink, tattoo ink/pigment it is all the same. Most SMP-MS companies themselves don’t have any idea what is really in their pigments that are applying to your scalp only reading what is partially disclosed on the label. So don’t let any SMP-MS provider tell you differently that his inks/pigments are FDA approved. ![]() The FDA also does not require the pigment/ink manufacturers to reveal all the ingredients in their products. That means you must trust the practitioner who is providing the scalp micropigmentation application to use safe pigments/inks. The FDA considers the pigments/inks used tattoos and permanent makeup, to be cosmetics. That while the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates substances people place on their skin, the FDA does not regulate pigments/inks that are placed under the skin. They are composed of pigments that are suspended in a carrier solution. There are no federal regulations in the USA on tattoo ink. ![]()
