Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Dorado
Warm Golden Radiance with Satin Depth
Bichroma Dorado achieves its signature warm golden tone through a layered combination of Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides over a Bismuth Oxychloride-coated mica platelet. The TiO2 provides a bright, opaque white pearl base that amplifies the golden warmth contributed by the Iron Oxides. This combination creates a luminous, richly pigmented gold with exceptional coverage and depth.
The Bismuth Oxychloride substrate provides its characteristic advantages: a distinctively creamy texture, excellent skin adhesion, and superior press-ability. At 17–22 μm, the particle size delivers a smooth, refined satin finish that reads as warm gold luxury.
Key Technical Advantages in Formulation
The BiOCl base provides significant formulation advantages, including improved binding in pressed powders and enhanced skin adhesion in all formats, reducing the need for excessive binders.
The combination of TiO2 and Iron Oxides delivers excellent opacity and coverage, making Bichroma Dorado suitable for both standalone gold effects and as a warm mixing shade.
In liquid and cream systems, it disperses readily to create a homogenous, stable product with a smooth, warm gold satin finish that resists settling.
