Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Magenta

The Science of Saturated Satin Color

Bichroma Magenta combines the unique properties of three key materials to achieve its signature effect. A highly crystalline Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) layer is deposited onto a mica platelet, creating a base with exceptional luster and a luxurious feel. This is then coated with Carmine (CI 75470), a vibrant magenta colorant, resulting in a pigment that offers both intense color and a soft, satin sheen with remarkable hiding power.

Advanced Formulation Benefits

The BiOCl in Bichroma Magenta provides significant functional advantages. Its unique platelet structure enhances skin adhesion and improves press-ability in powder formulas, reducing the need for additional binders. This results in a creamy, long-wearing product that feels exceptionally smooth. The pigment’s high opacity allows formulators to achieve full coverage at lower usage levels, making it a cost-effective choice for creating high-impact color cosmetics.
