Inorganic Pigments
Inorganic pigments are mineral-based colorants used in pharmaceuticals, often providing long-lasting, stable color options for tablets, capsules, and coatings. These pigments, derived from materials like iron oxides, titanium dioxide, and chromium oxide, are known for their excellent stability under various environmental conditions, including exposure to light, heat, and chemicals.
Fun Fact:
Titanium dioxide, one of the most common inorganic pigments, not only adds white color but also acts as a UV protectant, helping to shield sensitive ingredients from light!
