Performance & Formulation Insights for Eldorado Breen

Achieving the ‘Breen’ Satin Effect

Eldorado Breen is engineered by coating natural mica platelets with a precise layer of iron oxides to create its signature brown-green “breen” tone and sophisticated satin-metallic luster. Unlike high-sparkle pigments, its controlled particle size (10–60 μm) yields a smooth, uniform surface that reflects light softly, delivering elegant depth and color without visible glitter.

Formulation Advantages of a Simple Composition

Composed solely of mica and iron oxides, Eldorado Breen offers robust, predictable performance across multiple systems—including anhydrous, emulsion, and solvent-based formulas. This simplicity supports clean beauty objectives: the pigment is TiO2-free, free of synthetic colorants, and contains no animal-derived ingredients.

Its satin finish and balanced particle distribution provide a creamy, blendable texture in pressed powders and a smooth, even laydown in liquids and gels. In nail and eyeliner systems, it maintains consistent dispersion and a refined metallic sheen without streaking.

Key Formulation Benefits
