Performance & Formulation Insights for Eldorado Gold Shimmer

Crafting the Perfect Gold Luster

Eldorado Gold Shimmer achieves its classic gold effect through a precise coating of Titanium Dioxide and Iron Oxides on a natural mica substrate. The coating ratios are carefully controlled to produce a specific shade of gold with high reflectivity and a luminous, shimmering finish.

With a particle size range of 10–100 μm, the pigment balances sparkle and coverage, making it versatile for high-impact eyeshadows, radiant highlighters, glistening lip products, and statement nail lacquers.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The natural mica base imparts a smooth, silky feel, improving blendability and comfort on the skin. This substrate also enhances press-ability in powders and provides an even laydown in liquid and gel systems.

Its robust composition delivers excellent stability across a range of cosmetic systems—from anhydrous oils and powders to water-based emulsions and solvent-based lacquers—streamlining development and ensuring consistent, visually striking results.
