Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for DP Sparkle Gold
The Science of Sparkling Interference
DP Sparkle Gold achieves its brilliant gold flash through optical interference. Built on a natural mica platelet coated with Titanium Dioxide, the powder appears white in bulk but reflects specific wavelengths to reveal a vivid gold effect on application. The exceptionally large particle size (10–125 µm) is key to its glitter-like look, as broad, flat surfaces produce intense, pinpoint reflections and high-impact sparkle.
Leveraging Large Particle Size in Formulations
The large particle distribution defines both performance and aesthetics. In liquid systems like lip gloss and nail polish, it suspends well and delivers prominent sparkle without a gritty feel. In pressed powders, it excels as a looser, high-payout “glitter topper,” adding dramatic, show-stopping shine over existing shades while maintaining the white-to-gold interference character.
