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.
Key Formulation Benefits
- Dramatic Shimmer Effect: Large particle size creates a striking, coppery sparkle for bold, luminous finishes.
- Rich Color Payoff: Iron oxide coating delivers intense, opaque color for maximum visual impact.
- Clean & Conscious: TiO2-free, vegan, and cruelty-free to align with modern clean beauty standards.
- Broad Application Use: Suitable for eye, face, lip, and nail products for full-collection versatility.
- Excellent Stability: Resists bleeding and fading in water-based, solvent-based, and anhydrous systems.
