Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Starlight Chestnut Brown
The Science of a Sophisticated Satin Finish
Chromatique Starlight Chestnut Brown achieves its rich, satiny appearance through a precise balance of iron oxides and titanium dioxide coated onto a natural mica substrate. The iron oxides provide the deep, warm chestnut base color, while a controlled layer of titanium dioxide contributes to the soft luster and opacity. This combination creates a smooth, reflective sheen rather than a sparkle, resulting in a classic and sophisticated finish.
Technical Formulation Advantages
The 10-60 μm particle size range ensures a smooth, non-gritty texture that is versatile enough for both facial and lip applications. The natural mica base provides excellent slip and adhesion, enhancing the wear-time and blendability of finished products. Its composition ensures high stability and easy dispersion in various cosmetic systems, from anhydrous creams to liquid emulsions.
