Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Light Blue

The Science of a Soft-Focus Satin Finish

Bichroma Light Blue achieves its elegant, soft-focus satin finish through a specialized composition. Lustrous, crystalline Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) is paired with a precise coating of Ferric Ammonium Ferrocyanide on a mica platelet substrate. This synergy delivers a refined blue tone while subtly scattering light to blur the appearance of fine lines for an airbrushed, flawless look.

The fine 10–15 μm particle size contributes to smooth application, excellent hiding power, and a luxurious, velvety feel without visible sparkle, making it ideal for complexion and eye formulations.

Key Advantages of a Bismuth Oxychloride Base

BiOCl’s unique platelet structure enhances binding in pressed powders, reducing the need for additional binders while improving payoff and reducing fallout.

It imparts a creamy, cushiony skin feel and superior adhesion for longer wear. In liquid and cream systems, it disperses cleanly to create uniform, stable formulations with a soft satin veil.
