Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Cupreous Brown
Crafting the Perfect Satin Luster
Chromatique Cupreous Brown achieves its signature cocoa-brown satin effect through a balanced coating of Red Iron Oxide (CI 77491) and Black Iron Oxide (CI 77499) on a natural mica substrate. This precise combination absorbs and reflects light to create a deep, warm hue with a soft, elegant luster—avoiding the high sparkle of larger particle pigments. The result is a sophisticated finish that offers both dimension and controlled coverage.
Technical Advantages in Formulation
The controlled 10–60 μm particle size ensures a smooth, non-gritty texture that feels luxurious on skin and lips. This range provides excellent versatility across systems—from pressed powders and anhydrous sticks to emulsions—while maintaining a refined satin sheen.
With iron oxides known for superior lightfastness and chemical stability, Chromatique Cupreous Brown maintains consistent color performance from lab to scale-up and final application, even under heat and pH stress.
