Performance & Formulation Insights for Fantasy Gold
Warm Sparkling Gold Through Iron Oxide and Mica Technology
Fantasy Gold combines Iron Oxides (CI 77491) with a natural mica substrate and Silica to produce a warm, sparkling gold effect. The iron oxide coating delivers a rich golden tone that is inherently TiO2-free, making it ideal for clean beauty formulations. The Silica component contributes to improved texture and light-scattering properties.
The 30–150 μm particle range is positioned in the sparkling territory, with larger platelets that catch and reflect light dramatically. This creates a bold, eye-catching gold sparkle rather than a subtle shimmer, making Fantasy Gold ideal for statement products and high-impact applications.
Formulation Advantages of the Encapsulated System
The Acrylates Copolymer encapsulation provides several formulation benefits. It improves compatibility across both water-based and oil-based systems, prevents agglomeration during processing, and enhances the long-term stability of the iron oxide colorant.
In pressed powder applications, the 30–150 μm particles create visible sparkle points while the Silica component helps maintain cake integrity. In liquid and cream systems, the encapsulated particles disperse evenly and resist settling, producing a consistent gold sparkle effect throughout the product.
