Omya-Minerals-ECOCERTOmya’s Omyacare® S 75-KP and Omyacare® S 95-KP minerals are now approved by the non-profit ECOCERT organization as natural raw materials. The certificate confirms that both ingredients are natural, environmentally friendly and sustainable.

Minerals for Rinse-off Applications


Bright white Omyacare® particles sourced from natural calcium carbonate can be used as cleansing agents with different grades of abrasiveness that adjust color, viscosity and texture of toothpaste and rinse-off applications.

With Omyacare® we focus on tailored particles based solely on natural calcium carbonate. This allows us to produce a sustainable ingredient with a very low carbon footprint,” commented Stefan Lander, vice president for consumer goods at Omya.

Product Range Enhances Foam Generation


The diversity of particle sizes within the Omyacare® product range means the minerals can be used in a variety of applications, such as soap, toothpaste, tooth tabs or handwash tabs. In soap applications, Omyacare® enhances creaminess, speed and amount of foam generation.

For toothpaste, particles guarantee the perfect level of desired abrasion in the final formula. Used in tabs, the particle structure provides many interlocking contact points. When compacted during dry granulation or tableting, these ensure greater mechanical strength. The high-purity and controlled low microbiology of Omyacare® particles reduce interactions between trace elements and active ingredients to a minimum.
