The permanent makeup industry has experienced significant changes due to the implementation of new bans and restrictions under EU REACH. These regulations have mandated that pigment manufactures reformulate in order to comply with the new EU REACH Laws. We understand the confusion this may have caused, but there are a few important distinctions between the pigment lines. Allow us to shed light on the differences between the Li Pigments EU REACH line and their original Aqua line, highlighting the adjustments made to meet the new regulations and the benefits associated with the updated formulations!

Under the EU REACH Laws, pigment manufacturers must adhere to specific guidelines regarding the balance between iron oxide and organic colorants in each pigment. Although the original Aqua line did not contain any banned ingredients, it primarily consisted of iron oxide-dominant pigments with minimal organic content. To align with the EU REACH requirements, Li Pigments undertook the challenging task of reformulating their Aqua colors into a hybrid range that strikes a harmonious balance between organics and iron oxides.

Li Pigments dedicated significant effort to ensure that the new EU REACH Aqua colors closely resembled the original shades and were as comparable as possible. It’s important to note that the colors are only comparable, they are not the exact shade. The overall result is an exceptional range of hybrid colors that have garnered positive feedback and outstanding healed results! These pigments are not exclusively for countries within the EU and those that have to comply with EU REACH guidelines. The enhanced formulations of the EU REACH Aqua colors have made them a beloved choice not only in EU REACH compliant countries but also worldwide, including the United States.

Don’t worry about the original Aqua line: it’s not going anywhere! The original Aqua pigments continue to be available in countries that do not enforce the EU REACH Laws. This means that artists and clients in these regions can still access and utilize the original Aqua pigments for their procedures. KHR ៛
