PMU101 - Understanding the Different Types of Pigments

When it comes to permanent makeup (PMU), selecting the right pigments is crucial for achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results. In the world of PMU, there are primarily three types of pigments: organic, inorganic, and hybrid. Each type offers unique benefits and considerations for both clients and artists.

Organic Pigments:

Organic pigments are derived from natural sources such as plants and minerals. They are often favoured for their wide range of colours and suitability for sensitive skin types. Organic pigments tend to fade more quickly compared to inorganic options, requiring more frequent touch-ups. However, they offer a softer, more natural look that many clients prefer.

Inorganic Pigments:

Inorganic pigments are composed of minerals and synthetic compounds. They are known for their durability and resistance to fading over time, making them ideal for clients seeking long-lasting results. Inorganic pigments typically offer a more vibrant colour payoff and require fewer touch-ups compared to organic pigments. However, they may have a more limited colour range and can pose a higher risk of allergic reactions in some individuals.

Hybrid Pigments:

Hybrid pigments combine the best qualities of both organic and inorganic pigments. They offer a balance between color stability and vibrancy, providing long-lasting results with a wide range of color options. Hybrid pigments are suitable for various skin types and offer excellent pigment retention. They are formulated to deliver natural-looking results while minimizing the risk of allergic reactions.
