More details about Granatum
Company identity
Granatum is a Brazilian developer and supplier of functional mineral ingredients for cosmetics and related personal-care applications. The official company address is in Itajaí, Santa Catarina. Granatum describes its role as connecting cosmetic-industry requirements with clay-mineral resources and says it has conducted international mineral research for more than fourteen years. It reports a distribution presence in more than 35 countries, although customers should confirm current local distributors directly with the company.
Ingredient portfolio
The beauty-ingredient catalogue is organized into hydrophilic bentonites, lipophilic bentonites, V-bentonites, haircare materials, deodorant and oral-care ingredients, SPF boosters, kaolins, naturally colored clays, micronized clays and natural scrubs. Sil-Bent aqua is identified as magnesium aluminum silicate and presented as a hydrophilic rheology modifier, suspending agent, thickener and emulsion stabilizer. Sil-Bent gel is a pre-dispersed lipophilic bentonite system intended for thickening oil phases and stabilizing suspensions or emulsions.
Kaolins and specialty minerals
Granatum lists white and colored kaolin grades for absorption, sensory modification, co-surfactant use and emulsion support. Product information for Kaolin 325 and related grades refers to micronized particles and applications in waterless or conventional cosmetic formats. The company also presents selected kaolin materials as SPF boosters and publishes product-specific performance figures. Any SPF contribution should be validated in the customer’s complete finished formulation rather than treated as an intrinsic finished-product claim.
Safety, sourcing and compliance claims
Granatum says its clays use responsible extraction practices, reduced heavy-metal content and a one-time microbial-decontamination process with reduced energy consumption and no gamma radiation. The website also reports in vivo safety testing for irritation and sensitization on selected ingredients. Portfolio-level statements include vegan or natural status, approval for natural and organic cosmetics, an ISO 16128 origin index of 1, no animal testing and Brazilian origin. The company also references COSMOS/ECOCERT compliance and acceptance in several international regulatory markets. These statements require confirmation at product and batch level through current technical files.
Application support
Granatum’s catalogue is structured around both ingredient chemistry and formulation use cases, allowing formulators to compare minerals for aqueous thickening, oil-phase structuring, suspension, exfoliation, color, absorption and sun-care support. Customers can contact the company for additional product information. No explicit contract-manufacturing or finished-cosmetic production service was found on the reviewed official pages.
