1 Technical Data Sheet Tersil COR 1. CLAY MINERAL ACTIVE INGREDIENTS Clay mineral is a natural raw material of mineral origin, composed of extremely fine particles of silicates, as well as several microminerals. This Mineral Active Ingredient can contain different type of silicate and metal concentrations such as: Titanium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Aluminum, Calcium, Potassium, Nickel, Manganese, Lithium, Sodium and Iron. The clay minerals had their origin from sedimentary rocks that over years (in the scale of a millennia) and under the climatic processes, dissolve themselves. (Imagine a mountain dissolving in a valley, reaching a river or a lake). During this course, the clay collects metals and components from the land where it belongs, it is action from the waters experiences and of the organic compositions from each micro region, forming the mineral product which is known as clay. Parallel to the process of the composition of the clay, a separation happens between the clay and the quartz, and eventually, it results in a purified and fine material selected by nature. This way, it is possible to appreciate that each clay is unique, it is a result of the exclusive composition of the earth, water and the climatic process that occur in a specific area. The line known as TERSIL was developed by the TERRAMATER Special Mineral and Organic Ingredients. Various kind of clays were selected at appropriate places for mining in a European Valley in south Brazil, Santa Catarina and also in a calcareous area of Tijucas do Sul, Paraná - Brazil. The line named TERSIL is composed of twelve different Brazilian clay minerals, presenting different granulometric profiles, especially developed for different cosmetic applications, from exfoliating to make-up actives. The products were prepared specially for the cosmetic industry and Spa s. They can be used pure or applied in different cosmetic formulations. 2 - COMPOSITION Chemical Analysis % SiO % Fe 2 O % CaO Máx % P 2 O 5 Max % Al 2 O % Na 2 O Max % TiO % MgO Max % K 2 O 0.85

2 2.1 Mineral and Microminerals The microminerals are cofactors of many biochemical reactions in our organism and the presence of some microminerals are essential for good metabolic operation. Tersil COR has naturally copper, selenium, magnesium, zinc and manganese that help the skin nutrition and in maintain the skin healthy. 2.2 Metals research The clays originate from sedimentary rocks, this way, the presence of metals in loamy materials are natural. Some metals search as copper, zinc and selenium are important for the maintenance of the skin integrity; however the presence of some heavy metals such as lead can put the health at risk if it is absorbed. Several kinds of clays were researched and some of them were rejected because the f high concentration of lead in its composition. All of the products which are traded by TERRAMATER Mineral and Organic Ingredients, present the amount of heavy metals under control, in relation to the pattern established for the cosmetic industry. 3. PRODUCTION PROCESS TERRAMATER processes the line named TERSIL in an industry built exclusively for this activity, assisting the Good Practices of Production of Mineral and Organic active ingredients for the cosmetic industry: a) Extraction in appropriate places that are under control of DNPM (National Department of Mineral Production). b) Drying in the sun to remove the natural humidity. c) Grinding process without human contact. d) Technology development with application of ozone for microbial control. In this stage controlled pulses of heat and ozone gas are used. The intention being to practice the responsible use of macrobiotics parts. The use of ozone gas leaves oxygen gas (O 2 ) as a residue. e) Rigorous granulometric Control.

5 6. ZETA POTENTIAL The zeta potential is the electric potential in the interfacial double layer at the location of the slipping plane versus a point in the bulk fluid away from the interface. In other words, zeta potential is the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersed particle. When the potential is low, attraction exceeds repulsion and the dispersion will break and flocculate. Thus, the colloids with high zeta potential (negative or positive) are electrically stabilized (Greenwood & Kendall, 1999). At ph commonly used in cosmetics, Tersil COR has a zeta potential between -16 mv and -28 mv, where the repulsive forces are larger than those of attraction, aiding stability of the cosmetic system. 7. INFRARED (IR) SPECTRUM Tersil COR IR spectrum:

6 8. PROPERTIES a) It presents excellent profile of safety; b) Detox capacity; c) Because of its zeta potential and high capacity of water absorption, it helps to stabilize emulsions; d) Concerning the structure and thixotropic behavior, helps in the improvement of the sensorial of the emulsions reducing the oily sensorial; e) Pigment. f) High adsorption and absorption capacity. 9. APPLICATION a) It can be applied pure, only with addition of water: b) Mineral and Organic cosmetics; c) Dry Shampoo; d) Facial gel (for cleaning and removing the oiliness); e) Liquid soap; f) Bars soap; g) Capillary masks; h) Mineral masks. 10. RECOMMENDED DOSAGE LEVELS Skin Care O/W: 3-10% Skin Care W/O: 2-6% Sensorial Modifier Agent: 1-5% Body & facial Mask: 20-60% Gel: 3-6% Hair-Care: 2-5% Liquid Soap: 4-15% Shower Gel: 2-10% Bar Soap: 5-15% 11. SAFETY Tersil COR was submitted for clinical tests for safety for the dermatological evaluation of dermis compatibility. The study concluded that Tersil COR doesn't present: a) Potential of primary irritation of the skin; b) Potential of accumulated irritation of the skin; c) Potential of sensitization of the skin. Therefore it means that it is extremely safe for application in formulations for skin care. It is important to note that during the compatibility tests of the skin; no volunteer presented any irritation sign.
