Performance & Formulation Insights for Bichroma Purple
The Science of Soft-Focus Satin
Bichroma Purple creates its signature satin effect and exceptional coverage by coating a fine-particle mica with Bismuth Oxychloride (BiOCl) and Ultramarine Blue. The highly crystalline, platelet structure of BiOCl scatters light to produce a natural-looking luster and a soft-focus effect that subtly blurs fine lines and texture. This layered approach yields a deep, elegant purple with a smooth, non-glittery finish.
Advanced Formulation Benefits of Bismuth Oxychloride
The inclusion of BiOCl is central to Bichroma Purple’s performance. It imparts a uniquely luxurious, creamy skin feel and significantly enhances adhesion for long-wear applications. In pressed powder systems, BiOCl provides excellent binding properties, enabling smooth pressing, low fallout, and a velvety payoff that consumers associate with premium formulations.
