The Zschimmer & Schwarz product portfolio we offer combines the high-performance polymers of the SYNTRAN® line with the first-class emollients of the ZETEMOL line to create perfect make-up formulations. ZETEMOL products consist mostly of ingredients derived from vegetable and other sustainable oils which create a velvety skin feel and thus allow for advanced make-up formulations. Our water-based acrylate SYNTRAN® polymers are developed for the purpose of improving the properties of the particular formula in a variety of ways. With this successful concept, we provide our customers and their products with a real, unique selling point.

Eye Make-Up

The use of SYNTRAN ® film formers in your products prevents make-up from smearing. Using a proprietary process, we combine monomers with powerful functional groups to achieve an optimal balance of adhesion, cohesion, gloss, flexibility and water resistance.

Face Make-Up

In times of ever higher image resolution, which emphasizes every single pore, flawless skin is becoming more and more important. Make-up manufacturers face the challenge of reacting adequately to this development. Zschimmer & Schwarz offers special ingredients for a perfect end product that does not rub off or smear and combines adhesion, durability and hydrophobic properties.

Lip Make-Up

Colour, texture and shine are among the most important criteria for lip products. In addition, SYNTRAN ® polymers ensure other desired properties of lip make-up in the end product: protection against discoloration and smearing, flexibility, durability on the lips and a pleasant wearing comfort. This keeps the lips flawless and attractive all day long.

Nail Polish

SYNTRAN ® allows you to develop a complete range of water-based nail products with enhanced functionality: from peelable base coats to high gloss top coats - even after water immersion - to color intensive nail polishes. Our SYNTRAN ® technology is perfect for nail care because it is water-based and therefore has a positive effect on nail moisture. The breathable and permeable material strengthens the nail and significantly reduces the risk of microbiological growth under the film.

Body Paint

Body painting is an ancient art form that people use to express their personality and creativity. Intense colors and expressive designs make it possible to create true works of art. The drawings painted on the skin must remain flexible to follow the body's movements and last from a few hours to several days.
