Performance & Formulation Insights for Chromatique Starlight Red Brown

Achieving Intense Color with Natural Minerals

Chromatique Starlight Red Brown is engineered by depositing Iron Oxides (CI 77491) onto a natural mica substrate. The iron oxide layer provides deep, saturated red-brown color, while the reflective mica platelet amplifies light to create a bright, metallic-like shimmer. This synergy delivers richer payoff and more dimensional shine than simple pigment blends.

Technical Advantages in Formulation

The broad 20–150 µm particle size range drives a bold, high-impact sparkle that is ideal for statement looks. The mineral composition offers excellent compatibility across anhydrous, emulsion, and solvent-based systems and maintains color integrity without bleeding or fading. As a TiO2-free, mineral-based pigment, it supports clean and conscious formulation goals.
