Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Dark Blue

The Science of Elegant Satin Color

Bichroma Dark Blue achieves its signature satin finish and rich, uniform color through a specialized coating process. Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide (CI 77510) is precisely deposited onto a Bismuth Oxychloride-treated mica platelet. The crystalline BiOCl layer delivers soft pearlescent luminosity and enhanced hiding power, while the fine particle mica base keeps the appearance smooth and non-glittery. The result is a deep blue with subtle radiance and a luxurious, creamy skin feel.

Formulation Advantages of Bismuth Oxychloride

Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) is central to Bichroma Dark Blue’s performance. Its platelet structure offers excellent binding for superior press-ability and improved adhesion, promoting long-wearing results in powders and hybrids. Additionally, BiOCl contributes to oil management for a non-greasy feel, making it well-suited to foundations, blushes, and finishing powders where comfort and smooth glide are essential.
