Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Diamond Ultra Lite

The Science of a Superior Satin Finish

Bichroma Diamond Ultra Lite achieves its signature satin luster through the precise deposition of Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) onto a mica platelet. The crystalline structure of BiOCl offers exceptional light-reflecting properties, creating a soft, luminous sheen without the sparkle of larger pearlescent pigments. This unique composition enables a refined, elegant glow and a desirable soft-focus effect that helps blur visible texture.

Technical Advantages in Formulation

The inclusion of BiOCl delivers significant functional benefits. Its distinct platelet morphology enhances skin adhesion and acts as a superior binding aid in pressed powder systems, often reducing the need for additional binders.

This results in creamy payoff, reduced fallout, and long-lasting wear with a luxurious, silky feel. Versatile across anhydrous, emulsion, and powder-based systems, Bichroma Diamond Ultra Lite integrates smoothly to create high-performance formulas with a sophisticated satin finish.
