Performance & Formulation Insights for Eldorado Bronze Shimmer

Achieving a Classic Metallic Bronze

Eldorado Bronze Shimmer creates its warm metallic effect by coating natural mica platelets with CI 77491 (Iron Oxide). The transparent, reflective mica substrate provides a shimmering foundation, while the iron oxide delivers a rich, opaque bronze tone. The result is a pigment with exceptional luster, color depth, and a dynamic shimmer that catches the light.

Formulation Advantages of a Natural Base

The natural mica base ensures broad compatibility across anhydrous, emulsion, and powder systems. Its platelet structure promotes good skin adhesion and a smooth, silky feel in finished products.

With a broad particle size range of 10–100 μm, Eldorado Bronze Shimmer delivers a visible yet refined sparkle. It can be tuned from soft radiance to high-impact metallic effects, making it a versatile choice for eye, face, lip, and nail applications.
