Crèmetinten

Crèmetinten is a Dutch-language term used to describe cream-based cosmetic products that include pigment to alter or even the skin tone. The word combines crème (cream) and tinten (tints) and is often used in marketing to denote a tinted facial cream.

This category includes products such as tinted moisturizers, foundation creams, and multi-purpose BB or CC creams, which are designed to provide hydration while providing light to medium coverage. They are typically applied to the face and sometimes the neck, with shades matched to skin tones.

Formulation generally involves an emulsion of water and oils, with emulsifiers, humectants, and pigments. Common pigments include iron oxides and titanium dioxide, sometimes mica-based pearlescent pigments. Depending on the product, UV filters may be included to provide SPF protection, or none at all.

Safety and regulation: In many jurisdictions, crèmetinten are regulated as cosmetics. Manufacturers must ensure product safety, provide ingredient lists using INCI nomenclature, and label shade information clearly. They must also comply with applicable cosmetics regulations, such as safety assessments and marketing claims rules, and provide a responsible party. Consumers are advised to patch-test sensitive skin and follow usage directions.

Usage notes: Crèmetinten are chosen for a natural, light coverage look and for moisturizing benefits. They are often preferred by people seeking a simple daily routine without separating makeup and skincare steps.
