Persistence of Organic Pigments: A Focus on Carbon Black

The Aggregate as the "True Particle”. In the realm of semi-permanent makeup, it's vital to understand that the aggregate, rather than the primary particle, represents the "real particle" in discussions about carbon black. These aggregates, clusters of primary particles, play a pivotal role in how pigments behave within the skin, interact with biological structures, and exhibit stability and color properties. Recognizing the aggregate as the fundamental unit in pigment analysis allows professionals to tailor their techniques and materials for safer and more effective applications. Fracturing (Fracking) of Carbon Black Aggregates While scientifically valid, the concept of fracturing carbon black aggregates...
