Performance & Formulation Insights for Ablaze Autumn
Warm Copper-Amber Metallic Performance
Ablaze Autumn delivers a rich, warm copper-amber metallic effect through a combination of aluminum powder, silica, and iron oxide. The aluminum flake core provides intense light reflection, while iron oxide contributes the warm, autumnal copper tone. Silica acts as a surface treatment, improving dispersion and wear.
At 20 µm, the particle size falls in the fine range, ensuring a smooth and even metallic deposit without visible graininess. This makes Ablaze Autumn particularly well-suited for pressed powder formulations where a uniform color laydown is critical.
Key Technical Advantages in Formulation
The aluminum-based composition provides superior light reflectivity compared to mica-based metallic pigments, creating a more intense, foil-like metallic finish on skin.
The fine particle size allows for excellent press-ability in powder compacts, reducing the need for excessive binder while maintaining a cohesive cake structure.
In liquid and cream systems, Ablaze Autumn disperses readily to produce a smooth, streak-free metallic finish with minimal settling during storage.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Intense Copper-Amber Metallic: Delivers a rich, warm metallic finish reminiscent of burnished copper, ideal for autumn-inspired color cosmetics.
- Fine 20 µm Particle Size: Ensures smooth, even application with no visible graininess in both pressed and loose powder formats.
- High Reflectivity: Aluminum powder core creates intense light reflection for a bold, foil-like metallic effect on skin.
- Versatile Application: Performs well across pressed powders, loose powders, liquid formulations, and nail lacquers.
