Color stabilizers are special ingredients added to pigments to ensure they fade naturally and evenly over time. They help prevent unwanted color shifts and keep your brows looking natural. Stabilizers work by balancing the warm and cool tones in pigments, ensuring your brows won’t turn gray, blue, or red as they heal and fade.

This happens when the pigments used aren’t properly formulated or balanced for your skin tone. If a pigment lacks color stabilizers or has an incorrect balance of warm and cool tones, it can shift color as it fades. For example, too many cool undertones can cause brows to turn gray or blue, while too many warm undertones can make them fade to red or orange.

PhiBrows pigments are formulated with a high pigment load and color stabilizers to prevent color shifts. The SUPER Pigments from PhiBrows are particularly advanced, with each pigment particle coated in a bioinert material that ensures color stability, faster healing, and safety. These pigments are also designed to balance yellow, red, and black pigments to create a true brown shade that fades naturally without turning gray or red.

I use PhiBrows and Tina Davies pigments, which are known for their high pigment load, color stability, and natural fading process. These pigments are designed to stay true to their original color and fade predictably over time without turning gray, red, or orange.

Tina Davies pigments, made in collaboration with Perma Blend, are pre-mixed to achieve perfect color balance for every skin tone. These pigments have a high pigment load, are vegan and cruelty-free, and are designed to fade naturally and predictably over time. They include stabilizers to prevent unwanted shifts to gray, blue, or red hues.

High pigment load" refers to the concentration of pigment particles in a formula. A high pigment load means the pigment contains more color particles and less liquid or binder. This results in better retention, longer-lasting color, and more predictable fading. High pigment load ensures your brows stay true to the original shade and don’t shift to unwanted tones over time.

Poor-quality pigments or pigments without stabilizers are more likely to shift in color. This can happen due to factors like skin undertones, UV exposure, and the body’s immune response. High-quality pigments like PhiBrows and Tina Davies are designed to prevent these shifts by incorporating stabilizers and using a balanced mix of warm and cool tones.
