"New core ingredients for makeup are very rare in cosmetics," explained Takekawa. "Something that can provide opacity is even more rare. You have TiO2, ZnO, barium sulfate and calcium chloride, but these have been around for ages." In addition, they can give a chalky appearance to skin.

"As a supplier of makeup ingredients, we have been searching for some way to provide [natural] coverage, without the usual ingredients. ... MiyoHaze White is able to provide a 'white pigment' that provides sufficient coverage ... by means of a completely new raw material."
