Performance & Formulation Insights for Fiesta Shimmer Blue
The Science of High-Purity Shimmer
Fiesta Shimmer Blue is engineered using synthetic fluorphlogopite, a man-made substrate known for its exceptional purity and smoothness compared to natural mica. This purity results in a brighter, more brilliant base. A precise layer of Titanium Dioxide is deposited onto these synthetic platelets, creating an interference effect that reflects a specific wavelength of light—in this case, a vibrant blue—while allowing other light to pass through. The result is a striking blue shimmer that appears over a neutral, off-white base.
Technical Advantages in Formulation
The larger particle size of Fiesta Shimmer Blue (25-100 µm) is key to its high-impact shimmer effect. This range provides a noticeable sparkle without feeling gritty, making it ideal for products where visual texture is desired.
The synthetic mica base ensures low levels of heavy metals, providing a clean and reliable ingredient for global formulations. It disperses easily in oils, esters, and silicones, making it a versatile choice for both anhydrous and emulsion-based systems.
