Performance & Formulation Insights for Eldorado Satin Mauve

The Science of a Sophisticated Satin Finish

Eldorado Satin Mauve achieves its signature satin effect through the precise coating of iron oxides onto a finely controlled natural mica substrate (5-25 µm). Unlike larger particle-size pearls that create high sparkle or shimmer, this pigment’s structure is engineered to scatter light softly, resulting in a subtle, elegant luster with high color opacity. This provides a true-to-color application with a smooth, skin-like finish rather than a metallic shine.

Technical Formulation Advantages

The high purity and controlled particle size of Eldorado Satin Mauve ensure excellent compatibility across a wide range of cosmetic systems. Its iron oxide composition offers exceptional lightfastness and stability in emulsions, anhydrous systems, and powders. As a natural, TiO2-free pigment, it allows formulators to create high-impact color cosmetics that align with the rigorous standards of the clean and conscious beauty markets.
