Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Brown
Rich Satin Color with Superior Hiding Power
Bichroma Brown achieves its elegant satin finish and deep brown color through a precise combination of iron oxides deposited onto a Bismuth Oxychloride-coated mica platelet. This engineered structure delivers exceptional opacity and hiding power, creating a soft-focus effect that helps conceal skin imperfections. The result is a sophisticated, low-luster finish perfect for natural and elegant makeup lines.
The optimized particle size distribution of 16–21 μm ensures a smooth laydown and refined appearance, avoiding high-shimmer reflections while maintaining a premium, satin radiance.
Technical Formulation Advantages
The use of Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) as a key component offers significant functional benefits. Known for its unique crystalline structure, BiOCl imparts a distinctively smooth, creamy skin feel and enhances adhesion for longer wear.
In pressed powders, BiOCl acts as a superior binder, improving press-ability and reducing the need for additional binding agents. In liquid and cream systems, it disperses evenly to create homogenous, high-coverage formulas with a controlled satin sheen.
