The Advanced Technology Behind DP Precious Gold

Superior Chromaticity Through Multi-Layer Coating

DP Precious Gold achieves its signature bright, bold color through an advanced coating technology. Multiple layers of titanium dioxide and iron oxides are deposited onto a natural mica substrate with extreme precision. This multi-layer structure is engineered to maximize light reflection and color purity, resulting in a gold pigment with exceptionally high chromaticity and intensity that surpasses standard pearl pigments.

High Hiding Power & Luminous Finish

The specific ratio and layering of metal oxides provide significant hiding power alongside vibrant luster, enabling opaque, metallic finishes in a single application. The 10–60 μm particle size strikes a practical balance, delivering a pronounced shimmer that is smooth and comfortable—never gritty—making it suitable for eye, face, lip, and nail formulas.

This robust optical design translates into reliable performance across powders, emulsions, and solvent-based systems, ensuring consistent payoff and a rich, luminous gold effect.
